Semester break and summer session programs have been held in England, France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Germany, Egypt, Japan, China, and India, as well as various cities in the U.S., including Charleston (South Carolina), Chicago, New York, Savannah, Seaside (Florida), and Williamsburg (Virginia). Travel study enriches both the study and the practice of architecture by expanding student experiences. With advance preparation and consultation, high school seniors may also apply to selected summer travel programs as an introduction to architecture. A number of programs offer professional continuing education credits.
Domestic travel is often apart of design studio courses, as programs for sites introduce students to other elements, topography and cultures. Study trips to observe the architecture of cities may take students to cities such as Charleston, Chicago, Key West, Montreal, New York, Savannah, Seaside and Williamsburg, as well as to various construction sites in South Florida.
