Travel Programs
Expand your horizons with academic, service, and cultural travel opportunities
NMH travel programs offer you opportunities to engage with other cultures in meaningful ways as you expand on what you learn in the classroom.
All of our travel programs include an academic component and are aligned with NMH's mission and values of inclusivity, learning for life, and service. Trips are designed around a wide range of topics: the arts, literature, history, religion, world languages, and environmental, socio-economic, and political issues.
You’ll connect with other cultures and people as an active participant rather than a passive observer, whether you're staying with a host family in a language-immersion program or participating in a service-learning project. The intercultural competence and life experiences you’ll gain will help you become an adaptable, flexible, and self-aware global citizen, ready to succeed at NMH and beyond.
Below is a sampling of the kinds of travel programs offered at NMH. Please note that specific programs vary from year to year and are dependent on enrollment and staffing.
Limited travel scholarships are available, and we are committed to ensuring that these programs are accessible to all students through increases in financial aid.
