For many students, McKenny Union may be the most exotic place they visit in their collegiate career. However, there are opportunities for EMU students to travel to Europe, Asia and Latin America while earning college credit in the process. Eastern s Cultural History Tours allow students to see the world while still working toward their degrees. It is the unique overall experience of the tour that has affected my life most recognizably, Mandy Kemper, a former student, said. The collection of interpersonal interactions and places visited combined with the reality of the history and the academic environment I was immersed in along the way provided an experience I will never forget.
Students can choose from several options.
In the fall, they can go to Europe or Asia for the entire semester. They are able to earn up to 15 credits on these tours. Summer tours are also offered. They run for 40 or 80 days to Europe. Students can take up to 12 credit hours.
