A travel seminar course is taught in both face-to-face and online formats during the Spring and Summer academic terms. <br><br>The Study Abroad Program is directly affiliated with a travel seminar course. The courses are offered through the academic schools of Business &amp; Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, and STEM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students are required to actively participate in the course during the academic term in which it is offered. Attendance at the Pre-Departure Orientation component of the course is mandatory. In addition, students are expected to engage fully in all class sessions scheduled before, during, and after the travel portion of the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide is-style-default\">Students will be assessed on the course learning objectives through various educational activities, which may include (but are not limited to) journaling, assignments, presentations, and reflective essays sharing their experiences. Specific course requirements are outlined in the official course syllabus available in Canvas.<br><br>A Travel Seminar course is academic credit bearing course led by our dedicated faculty members,

The trip provided students with the opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary coursework and experiential learning in both the humanities and history while studying in several cities across France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are a few excerpts from letters the students wrote to the Foundation at the end of the summer academic term, expressing the impact which the study abroad trip had on them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom June 26th to July 3rd, I joined Professors Pfeifer and Stout on a journey to France to learn about French history in person. I am so grateful to have been able to go on this this trip and to experience the entirely different culture there is in France\u2026 Both of the Professors were so amazing and worked diligently even while we were on the trip to make it more enjoyable for everyone as they were constantly making sure that we were going to be in comfortable situations, let alone the great lessons they gave us on bus rides and when we went to different locations to either sight see or walk through and immerse ourselves into a different time. They are both great teachers and people, and it made the trip just that much more amazing and enjoyable to be taught by and experience the time with them.\u201d (Spencer O\u2019Brien, HIST 240)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis trip has sparked a desire to travel the world, and I am very thankful I was able to do it. The opportunity to travel across the ocean to a different country does not come up often, and taking this once in a lifetime opportunity is something I will never forget. I am excited to see what other opportunities OCC will present to me and all the other students here. I could not recommend going on a study abroad trip enough to anyone and I hope OCC will continue doing these trips.\u201d (Sawyer Gleason, HUMN 252)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWithout the support from the Ocean County College Foundation my trip to France would not have been possible for a student such as myself. The financial support from the College Foundation has provided me with the experience of a lifetime. As a student taking the history course for this study abroad experience I was fascinated that I got to witness history with my own eyes. From the streets of Paris to the D Day Beaches I was constantly surrounded by history itself.\u201d (Sierra Francese, HIST 240)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These testimonials highlight the importance of the study abroad program for our students. To hear more about our students\u2019 experiences, please read the full letters provided to Ken Malagiere. Thank you for your generous support for our trip to France, and for all you do here at the college. We are so proud to have led this exciting adventure, and hope that the success of this trip inspires students at OCC to continue traveling and exploring the world for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button accordion__top is-style-arrow-button is-style-arrow-button--5\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">Back to Top<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group accordion__item is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group accordion__preview is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button accordion__toggle\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-left wp-element-button\">Italy 2025<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group accordion__content is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>\u201cIt\u2019s hard to describe, it was just so inspiring.\u201d<\/strong><br>\u2014 Student reflecting on Michelangelo\u2019s <em>Piet\u00e0<\/em> at St. Peter\u2019s Basilica<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cBreathtaking.\u201d<\/strong><br>\u2014 Anthony B., on the panoramic view from Pincian Hill, Rome<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cMy favorite part of the trip.\u201d<\/strong><br>\u2014 Lisa, on visiting the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cCompletely awestruck.\u201d<\/strong><br>\u2014 Student, after climbing Florence\u2019s Duomo for a city view<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cThe best museum of the trip\u2014I\u2019ve been waiting to see this.\u201d<\/strong><br>\u2014 Brian, on the Galileo Museum in Florence<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cBeyond expectations; this is what I imagined Italy to be like.\u201d<\/strong><br>\u2014 George, on the Tuscan countryside in San Gimignano<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cI can\u2019t believe I\u2019m here.\u201d<\/strong><br>\u2014 Annellie, while viewing Bernini\u2019s sculptures at the Borghese Gallery<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cA little creepy yet beautiful.\u201d<\/strong><br>\u2014 Student, about the Capuchin Crypt in Rome<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cThe most incredible cathedral yet.\u201d<\/strong><br>\u2014 Marinella, reflecting on St. John Lateran Cathedral<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button accordion__top is-style-arrow-button is-style-arrow-button--6\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">Back to Top<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group accordion__item is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group accordion__preview is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button accordion__toggle\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-left wp-element-button\">Ireland 2025<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group accordion__content is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>\u201cA memory for a lifetime.\u201d<\/strong><br>\u2014 Student, after visiting the 5,000-year-old passage tombs at Newgrange and Knowth<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cBeyond expectations.\u201d<\/strong><br>\u2014 Student, reflecting on the breathtaking views at Giant\u2019s Causeway<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cThis was my favorite experience.\u201d<\/strong><br>\u2014 Student, after the sheepdog demonstration in Connemara<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cInspired to change my major to Literature.\u201d<\/strong><br>\u2014 Student, after visiting W.
