Program Description
This program is designed to give non-students an insight into the learning experiences of our normal AUIP study abroad programs. This program is the opportunity to get a snapshot of what your child, grandchild or friend has experienced during their time as a student in the South Pacific, while enjoying 4-star accommodations and mouth-watering cuisine. A faculty member who teaches on our student programs will accompany you and ensure that you receive a brief introduction to many of our program themes, such as sustainability, conservation and indigenous cultures. We know of no other program that offers such a unique chance to gain insight into a study abroad program, as well as a fabulous educational travel experience in itself! You may also invite your student along to show you the ropes themselves!
