Experience the world with this unique educational and cultural opportunity. Quality tours and excursions, fascinating history, excellent museums, cathedrals, villas, excavations, scenic beauty, great food, unique shopping and time for personal exploration, all combine to make this an adventure you will remember for a lifetime.

The Nicholls State University Division of Art has conducted annual European Study Abroad summer programs for the past 13 years. Departing in early June, the traveling group visits a different area of Europe each year. College students of all disciplines, high school juniors and seniors and interested adults are eligible to participate in the program.

Concentrating on one to three countries, the trips are designed to provide travelers with quality excursions and tours, long enough to fully appreciate the cultures and areas visited.

INCLUSIONS

All trips include round trip airfare, first class and superior tourist hotel accommodations, ground transportation in deluxe air-conditioned motor coaches, professional tour directors, expert local guides, guided tours, meals, excursions and entry fees.

COMMENTS FROM OUR TRAVELERS

“This trip was nothing short of amazing. I enjoyed it more than other trips to Europe I have taken in the past, and I think that has to do with the amount of time we spent in each country. It is much easier to get the feel of a country when you take time to do an in-depth study of it.”

-E. Guidry

“For what I paid to see all this, I got my money’s worth 20 times over. I will remember the Prado for the rest of my life.”

-R. Boudreaux
