Off-Campus Experiences / Faculty-Led Programs
Expect Adventure
Central’s faculty-led programs take students to interesting and educational places throughout the U.S. and abroad. Gain valuable intercultural experiences through coursework in business, foreign languages, sciences and other disciplines while learning around the world with Central faculty. Off-campus travel is embedded into coursework with trips varying in length.
Textbook to Real Life
A faculty-led program is different from other kinds of off-campus study. Students find real value in working alongside faculty members outside of the classroom. Through this program, students develop cultural insight and real-world experience using the knowledge gained in an academic course.
Central faculty lead musical ensembles, tropical research and cultural immersion trips to locations around the world.
Sound fun? Eligible students consult with their academic advisor about faculty-led programs to ensure courses completed during an off-campus academic experience align with the curriculum and requirements for graduation.
Open a New Door
Traveling with students has had such a profound impact on me. Seeing and experiencing new places and culture through their eyes is incredibly rewarding — and fun!”

Just Do It
Few experiences are as impactful as exploring the world with a faculty member. By immersing students in magical experiences, in world-renowned locations, young people learn about nature, themselves and humans around the world. From the perspective of a faculty member, watching the reaction of a student when they see their first wild monkey or shark reminds you of why you do this job.”
