At the beginning of the second semester, students can take advantage of an intensive study abroad experience during the January block.

This past year (2008-2009) Early Honors students had the opportunity to participate in a travel course to Brazil and Argentina. The course focused on South American literature, history, and culture; the 12 day trip started in Rio de Janeiro, where the group took a guided tour of Sugar Loaf and Colonial Rio, visited the Christ the Redeemer statue, and enjoyed a guided cruise in the Guanabara Bay. From there, we flew to Iguacu to see the beautiful Iguacu falls and participated in a Macuco Safari. Then we flew to Buenos Aires and took a guided tour of the city, participated in a traditional Fiesta Gaucha, and saw an optional Tango show.
