Sydney, Australia

Travel Writing in Australia (Summer) is structured around a 12-day guided research trip on which students travel to small-town Australia from the ocean to the outback. While on the road, students will read and write as they travel and will gather a research portfolio for articles, essays, and creative pieces. Upon return to Sydney, class sessions and assignments will draw on students' research gathered while on the road.

Students have the opportunity to study and produce travel writing in both the creative and the professional forms of the genre.

Please be aware that study abroad involves two application deadlines - the application deadline for Boston University (the provider of this study abroad program), and the deadline to seek approval from your home campus Study Abroad Director (in order to receive credit for participating in this program). 

In general, you will need to inform your home campus Study Abroad Director by the "Application Deadline" indicated below.  By pressing on the "Apply Now" button, you will begin the process of notifying your home campus Study Abroad Director of your intent to study abroad.  In order to participate in this program, you will also need to follow the application instructions of Boston University, as indicated above.

Keep in mind that if it appears that a deadline date has already passed for the time that you wish to study abroad, you should still make contact with both your Study Abroad Director and the program provider, by pressing on the "Request Info" button and stating clearly your desired dates.  While it can never be guaranteed, there are cases when last-minute requests can be accommodated.
