Learn Beyond the Classroom

Immersion in another culture gives you deep understanding you can’t get from any lecture, book, or travel TV show. That’s why excursions are built into our program fees – for all-inclusive, culturally rich experiences with no surprise expenses.

With RISER, you’ll have plenty of chances to interact with the people and places that make your host location unique:

• Meet your city – Socialize with other students while you get to know your host location.
• Up close and personal – Build on what you learn in class during hands-on day, overnight, or multi-day excursions.
• Cultural discoveries – Explore the best cultural offerings available in your host city.
• RISER insider – Pursue your own interests and activities with the help of study center staff.
