Travel and Learning Experiences

Experience the world through travel, creativity, and connection

At the School of Arts & Letters at IU Southeast, learning doesn't stop at the classroom door. Our students explore their fields in real-world settings, traveling abroad, presenting at professional conferences, contributing to publications, and engaging with the local community. These opportunities help you build confidence, expand your network, and deepen your education through meaningful, hands-on experiences.


Whether you’re walking the streets of Berlin, presenting original work at a national conference, or creating something special for a community event, you’ll grow both personally and professionally as you put your creativity and knowledge into action.

Connect your studies with the wider world

Our travel and learning experiences are designed to inspire, challenge, and empower you. Opportunities include:

  • Study abroad in Berlin, Germany
  • Conference presentations at events like NCECA, Creative South, the Indiana Art Educators Association, and the Indiana Music Educators Association
  • Publication in student-run platforms such as The IU Southeast Review and the graphic design publication Beyond
  • Community engagement projects like building floats for the Harvest Homecoming parade or participating in the Charlestown Trunk or Treat event

These experiences allow you to share your talents, gain professional exposure, and see your work come to life outside the classroom.

Learn by doing—and make memories along the way

Our hands-on learning opportunities help you apply your academic skills in new and exciting ways. Whether you're networking with professionals, traveling internationally, or collaborating on a local project, you’ll gain practical experience that sets you apart.

In the School of Arts & Letters, we believe that learning should be an adventure—and your creativity is always the passport.
