Scots Term
Faculty led courses
Scots Term programs are courses developed and led by Monmouth
faculty and staff that focus on one or two subject areas. These 7- to 15-day trips are great for all students; they give students the chance to learn and explore without the commitment of a full semester.
A variety of experiences
Scots Term programs incorporate group activities into their curriculum and provide enriching global engagement. Past Scots Term classes have given students the chance to travel to rainforests, islands, deserts, and cities to have hands-on lessons that can’t be taught inside a classroom. Each course offers course credit between 0.25-1 credit, depending on the program.
Flexibility means more trips
The courses offered are never the same and always once in a lifetime. Bonus: giving students an opportunity to enroll in many trips throughout their Monmouth experience. Each trip includes: roundtrip airfare from the departure hub; international health insurance; lodging; entrance fees for museums, cultural sites, and events related to the course. Depending on the program, either all meals or some meals will be provided.
