Commitments<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Place-Based Learning:<\/strong>\u00a0Trinity\u2019s study away programs and practices reflect the value we place on living and learning in the real world. Learners are immersed in diverse perspectives and communities, as programs encourage proximity to the space, place, language and culture in which they live.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n
      \n
    • Urban Context:\u00a0<\/strong>Trinity\u2019s four study away programs are built on the belief that cities are dynamic labs\u2014content-rich epicenters of thought, dialogue and change. Rigorous academics along with linked experiential learning opportunities are mapped onto Trinity\u2019s international urban hubs\u2014Cape Town, New York, Rome and Vienna.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
        \n
      • Exploration & Independence:<\/strong>\u00a0Trinity develops study away programs, which encourage the pursuit of academic, cultural and personal exploration in and beyond the classroom. Learners cultivate curiosity and independence through active engagement. Trinity study away programs prepare students of all disciplines to be bold, independent thinkers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
