Spring Travel Courses

Taubman College students have opportunities to study culture and design while traveling within the United States and abroad. The three-credit spring travel courses are available to Taubman College undergraduate and graduate students during the spring or summer half-term. These travel courses are an essential part of Taubman College’s course offerings, allowing students to visit other countries and cities while gaining access to facilities, groups, and individuals that might otherwise be inaccessible to them.

The college has established partnerships and faculty exchanges with other architecture programs worldwide to promote a global cross-cultural exchange. Courses are selected, organized, and directed by individual faculty members interested in a particular country, region, or city. This diversity of interests leads to travel opportunities not just to the traditional locations of Europe but to the villages and global cities of the developing world and provides each group of students with exciting and unique educational, research, and service opportunities.

Participating Taubman College students receive $1,500 in support for international travel and $1,000 for domestic travel. Financial aid and need-based funding are also available. More than a quarter of the students enroll in travel courses during their studies.
