Travel Seminars are short-term, faculty-led study abroad (or domestic) experiences. Travel Seminars provide an opportunity to teach a course that integrates an academic experience with intercultural and experiential learning while traveling. Interested in leading a J-Term 2026 travel seminar? Submit your travel seminar proposal by Sunday, Oct. 27, at 11:59 p.m. 

This year, there are two Qualtrics options: New Travel Seminar Proposal / Repeat Travel Seminar Proposal. Please review the attached preview of the Qualtrics New Proposal, Repeat Proposal, and the Travel Seminar Guidelines PDFs to prepare for submission. If you plan to submit a proposal, please contact Chelsea Funk, assistant director of education abroad, at chelsea.funk@drake.edu. New Travel Seminars are required to meet with Chelsea to discuss ideas, and repeat Travel Seminars should notify Chelsea of intent to repropose.  For questions, contact Chelsea at chelsea.funk@drake.edu.
