The tours are open to the public. The study program consists of community college level courses related to the location being visited by the tour. While the students are on the tour, the students devote five or six hours per day to organized study preparation of reports, lectures, instruction and recitation. Each tour group brings along a library of material related to the subject being studied on the tour. Examinations are given at the end of each tour.
Academic credit is awarded for tour participation.
