Academic Focus Areas
Tailor your Nepal immersion experience to specific academic disciplines and learning objectives.
While our core program packages provide the framework (duration, logistics, cultural immersion), the academic content can be customized to align with your students' majors and educational goals.
Discipline-Specific Learning
Our academic focus areas are designed to provide deep, experiential learning relevant to students' majors and academic interests. Each program can be customized to meet specific learning objectives and integrated into our core program packages.
Whether your students are studying health sciences, humanities, business, or environmental studies, we can create meaningful field experiences that complement classroom learning and provide unique perspectives on global issues.
All academic focus areas can be integrated into our Academic + Field Study or Full Immersion Semester packages, with modified versions available for shorter Discovery or Adventure & Culture programs.
