One of the highlights of life as an ISM student is the biennial international study trip. A capstone experience of ISM student life, these tours provide a rich immersion in the history and culture of the nations visited. Past tours have been to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia, Germany, Turkey, Greece, Italy, the United Kingdom, Finland, Estonia, Russia, Spain, and Mexico. In 2025 the students will go to France. Watch this video from the study trip to Greece that highlights some of the benefits of this immersive cultural experience.
Preparation for the study tour includes reading and discussion on a variety of related topics, and is supported by colloquium lectures, student presentations, courses, and performances. Arguably, the preparation is nearly as valuable is the trip itself! Student photos and impressions written by the students on the tours can be found on several of the study tour pages listed below.
