The Courses You'll Take

There may be pre or post-travel course requirements that you'll need to do before we leaver or once we return from Germany. Although most of your course content will be covered on the travel part of the trip, some things have to be completed before or after we return from the trip.

The details of this will be discussed when you meet individually with your instructor, either Dr. Grube or Dr. Luke.
