How the Program Works

How the Program Works

Lead a Group

Most Smithsonian University Travel Programs are designed as faculty-led experiences for university students. Work with our program development team to choose the destination that’s right for your students and adapt the program to meet your schedule and needs. Then, travel together as a class or group from your university!

Our Collaboration

NASA Control - SmithsonianThe Smithsonian Institution is the largest museum and research complex in the world. As a global network committed to discovery and a leader in education, it both grounds us and inspires us. Travel is our bridge to this network. That’s why Smithsonian and WorldStrides have come together to create this unique collection of itineraries, designed for faculty-led groups.

 

In cooperation with places like the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum and Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama, we have jointly crafted programs that engage university students on an academic level. Your group will participate in guided tours that  go deeper, visit facilities where researchers are working in their field, and meet experts who can help connect what students are learning in the classroom to the lessons of the larger world. Inspire your students and distinguish your academic institution with Smithsonian University Travel Programs.
