PROGRAM THEMES & FOCUS AREAS
Travel programs to fuel your passion or discover new interests.
For some GLA students, theme is a clear indicator of program preference and guides their final enrollment selection.
For others, it is simply a tool to help refine the kind of program experience they hope to have.
Our program themes are a means for self-discovery and meeting core learning objectives. They may affect the kind of community service projects you participate in, immersive learning components you take part in, or the kinds of guided group discussions that are initiated by your GLA Program Mentor.
Program themes provide students an opportunity to dive deep into a topic of interest. The theme of your chosen program may relate to a future career path or area of study. Or it may foster a new interest through curiosity and exploration! And remember, you do not have to have an existing interest or experience in the theme of your program.
