Academics

Although each Global Learning Site is distinctive, all also share common core academic characteristics. These include:

a core course that deepens the understanding of key aspects of the site, an internship requirement, an on-site coordinator/facilitator, a language-learning opportunity where appropriate, and a preparatory prerequisite course and, in some cases, a presentation to the Trinity community upon return.

For more details please consult the Trinity Web site at http://www.trincoll.edu/pub/resources/Ghome.htm.

The Trinity comprehensive fee is charged for each site. Personal spending money and books are not included. Students receive a travel allowance, but must arrange their own airfare.

Health insurance coverage is included within the comprehensive fee. Every accepted student receives an extensive orientation packet, including details on banking, health issues, safety, required inoculations, visas, climate, and other relevant information.

Applications should be submitted to the Office of International Programs by October 15 for spring enrollment and by March 15 for fall enrollment.
