About CAS Domestic Travel Study Programs
CAS Domestic Travel Study programs are offered during winter break, spring break, or summer term and run between 1-4 weeks. Please review each program’s webpage for specific dates, requirements, and eligibility information.
CAS Domestic Travel Study programs are run by CAS’s Office for Experiential Learning & Discovery (casinter@uvm.edu). This is a separate entity and process from UVM’s International Travel Study programs, which are run through UVM’s Office of International Education. Any questions about international destinations should be sent to travel.study@uvm.edu.
