Opportunities for Students
Join a group from USC Lancaster for an educational tour. We sincerely hope you will consider an investment in your education and decide to take a trip of a lifetime. Nothing educates and enlightens like seeing places that most people only read about.
Upcoming Travel Study Programs
- England, Scotland, and Wales*
- May 2026 (online pre-departure lectures begin May 4; travel dates: May 11-20)
- HIST 101 with Dr. Kim Richardson
- Full Itinerary and Cost
Engage in a 7-part online, pre-departure lecture series (May 4-8) that brings the region’s history and culture to life. From ancient inhabitants and Roman legions to Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, and the great Shakespeare, each 45-minute session will provide insights to enrich your travels.
Once abroad, our learning continues! Throughout the journey, we’ll gather for discussions to reflect on the day’s adventures, share perspectives, and connect what we’ve experienced to the stories and history of the region.
*This trip is in collaboration with the Lancaster County Chamber and USCL.
