Travel-Study Opportunities

"For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move."
- Robert Louis Stevenson

We're thrilled to announce the return of a unique study abroad opportunity that expands beyond the seas! Coming soon, a play therapy course that integrates multiculturalism, current events, ethical considerations, and alternative environments in treating children and families. This Special Topics course is designed not only for our current students but also for alumni who missed out on travel opportunities during the pandemic. More details to come. Contact: Brandy Schuman
