Short-Term Immersive Experiences

Knox offers a variety of recent short-term immersive experiences that combine on-campus study with a trip to another city or country during a term break.

Imagine topping off a term of intense instruction with a trip to Japan or learning basket-weaving and dancing in Ghana, West Africa. All this and more can be achieved through Knox's short-term off-campus programs.
