Travel Opportunities

Through the Department of English, students have multiple opportunities to explore topics that are important to them in settings across the country and the world. See what's possible alongside our passionate faculty, through the popular Wentworth Fellowship program, and more.

Take Your Studies Further

English studies shouldn't limit you to the library. Our students get to visit iconic and historic settings from their favorite piece of literature, engage in service learning in Costa Rica or follow in the footsteps of an author who's left a strong impression on them — and those are just a few examples!

Immersive Learning in a Global Business Context

The Kraków trip is an exciting and enriching conclusion to a spring semester spent learning about writing from global, intercultural and corporate perspectives. Throughout the program, you'll explore how cultural contexts shape team dynamics, communication styles, and problem-solving approaches in international business settings. 

During the two-week intensive internship, you'll work directly with Polish university students on real-world design thinking challenges for international business partners like Hitachi Energy. You and your team will apply design thinking methodologies to solve problems while navigating cultural differences and building meaningful professional relationships.
