Travel with Purpose: Syracuse Signature Seminars
With Syracuse Abroad, you may enroll in a Signature Seminar that marries travel with hands-on research, experiential learning, reflection and creative expression. These exciting and academically rigorous courses, which are among Syracuse Abroad’s distinguishing features, combine adventure and travel with academic purpose.

Regional field trips and field study are incorporated in many of your courses, and Syracuse University’s respected reputation gives Syracuse Abroad students an edge in securing internships and volunteer and research opportunities.
The friends I made, lessons learned, and incredible experiences I had exploring the country allowed me to build a new perspective on handling my daily life. It opened my mind to new opportunities and I saw that there is so much more that the world has to offer.
