Global Travel Resources

Planning global travel as part of your Rivier experience doesn't have to be a challenge. Here are some helpful resources to get you started.

Ready to get going? Gathering information about traveling before you depart is strongly recommended. We will guide you throughout the entire process, but we encourage you to also educate yourself with these links and additional resources.

Knowledge is Power

Together with your advisors, you will choose from study-abroad and faculty-led trips that meet your academic and personal goals. Once you decide on a trip, you’ll want to gather as much information as possible. We encourage you to explore these resources before you explore the world.
