Biola Faculty-led Study Tours

Short-term faculty-led Study Tours — usually between one and three weeks — provide the opportunity for students to travel with Biola faculty for academic credit, expanding learning beyond the traditional classroom through real-world experiences. Tours and locations are associated with specific Biola courses and may include pre-trip assignments, “hands on'' activities, on-site lectures, biblically integrative community-based learning, and customized immersive experiences. Faculty and students travel together, extending the mission, integrity and standards of Biola University throughout the trip.

What Will I Study?

Each faculty-led Study Tour is unique, designed by Biola faculty for rich and impactful learning experiences outside of the classroom.
