Junior Journey

Academics › Junior Journey

All entering first-year students are guaranteed a travel experience during their junior or senior year at Florida Southern.  The best part is that the trip will cost you nothing except the usual course credit charges*.

On your Junior Journey, you might:

• Study the history and architecture of ancient Greece
• Immerse yourself in the world of theater in New York
• Live the art and culture of Paris
• Explore castles and cathedrals in Scotland and England
• Examine the innovative business techniques of German corporations
• Improve your Spanish in Madrid, Spain
• Participate in a business simulation in Brazil

The Junior Journey is guaranteed for all entering first-year students entering in Fall 2010 and beyond.**

Trips will be offered during May Term, Summer Term, and/or other periods such as fall break or spring break.  Each Junior Journey will have a theme with a final project and other course-related requirements to satisfy the credit for the experience.

Current students (students who do not enter as freshmen in Fall 2010) and transfer students can opt-in to Junior Journey trips by paying for the cost of the trip plus the associated credit costs.

Freshmen students wishing to opt out of the prescribed Junior Journey trips may apply an appropriate and pre-determined travel scholarship to other study abroad experiences the college offers (e.g. popular China and Spain trips during May Option).

For questions about the Junior Journey guarantee, please contact Kristen Placek in the Admissions Office at 1.800.274.4131 or kplacek@flsouthern.edu.

* Covered trip costs include airfare, local travel, most meals, lodging, and entry fees for experiences. 
** Florida Southern will guarantee a Junior Journey to all new freshman students enrolling in 2010 and after who remain in good academic, social, and professional standing.
