Point Loma students have several program choices. One is to take a class on campus and complete the course with international work, such as the Kenya trip. In this case students take required general education units in religion as a prerequisite. A third option is a tour course study such as a summer excursion with art professor, Eugene Harris. Students discuss and write about art as they make their way through Europe.
Some students find other academic opportunities to suit their desires and needs.
Jennifer Newlin favored the Semester at Sea program with the University of Pittsburgh. Nearly 600 students and professors travel by boat, stopping at various port cities. Traveling taught me things I could never have learned in a textbook or on a chalkboard. The International Studies Program soon begins its second year with students bound for destinations such as Australia, England, Japan, Kosikstan, Costa Rica and Indonesia. Students who participate in international studies find their academic experience broadened and their lives changed forever.
