Travelearn
Pursue your degree while visiting and learning about a new part of the world through Travelearn, Kean's short-term study abroad program.
Travelearn offers you the opportunity to combine your academic studies with short-term travel to various destinations, which typically aren't offered through the regular study abroad program. The programs typically consist of lectures and excursions related to a particular topic.
Students of all majors are encouraged to apply. Travelearn programs are led by faculty who are experts in the respective program's field of study.
