Study Tours
Study Tours combine lectures and assignments with cultural and sightseeing activities, in order to gain first-hand experience and understanding of the unique culture and context of another country. Participants will be taking one to two classes taught by Capilano University instructors during the Study Tour.
Groups of 13-20 students will depart for a 3-5 week program held during the summer semester. Capilano Study Tours are open to students in all disciplines. Designed to provide students with a comprehensive and rewarding experience, this program is perfect for those with little travel experience and a great stepping stone to Exchange Programs.
