Juniors Abroad
For more than 35 years, 性视界传媒 has annually sent hundreds of junior and senior students to every continent other than Antarctica. For many, a Juniors Abroad trip is the most indelible and memorable experience during their college years.
What We Do
Each spring, during May Term, teams of faculty mentors lead about a dozen groups of between 15 and 25 students on three-week trips to every corner of the globe, providing an in-depth glimpse into the culture, customs and history of a place that can’t fully be appreciated in a classroom.
And the best part? You get to choose where you want to go!
Where We Go
The question should really be, “Where haven’t we gone?” We can’t guarantee you will get your first country of choice, but keep an open mind! We often have students return from a trip and tell us that, despite not getting their first choice, they were thrilled with where they went and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.
Here is a sampling of the places we have visited:

Juniors Abroad, Ecuador and Gal谩pagos trip
The Juniors Abroad program is such a rare and amazing opportunity. If we didn't have this I can almost tell you for a fact that I would have never gone to Ecuador. I learned so much and was so humbled while I was over there. I got to see God's amazing creations in vastly different areas from the sea life in the Galapagos to the spiders and bugs in the Amazon. Everything was so unique and beautiful, something I wouldn't get to see in America or even anywhere else in the world.
