Summer Travel Courses
Take your learning beyond the classroom this summer with a faculty-led travel experience, where you can earn credit while immersing yourself in new cultures. From the mountains of Nepal to the beaches of Australia, you’ll grow your independence, form new connections, and gain new perspectives that transform the way you view the world.
Registration Deadlines
Space for summer travel courses is extremely limited, so make sure to register as soon as possible. Travel course registration is first-come, first-serve.

Summer Travel Financial Aid
DU offers Summer Financial Aid for eligible students who complete the Summer Aid Application (available beginning April 2026). Your award depends on your remaining federal eligibility and potential DU Summer Grants, which vary based on how many credits you take. While summer aid may not cover the full cost of a travel course, enrolling in at least four units keeps you on track.
