This course is an experiential learning course that can be attached to specific courses or that can stand alone. Excursions allow students to “do English” and aid in the development of immersion environments that enable students to understand issues in a more sophisticated and critical way. Excursions require a minimum of 15 hours of academic commitment in and out of the classroom per credit hour. Topics will vary and may include Willa Cather’s Prairie (Red Cloud, NE), Mark Twain in Hannibal (Hannibal, MO), The World War I Museum (Kansas City, MO), The Nelson Atkins Museum of Art (Kansas City, MO), Walden Woods (Lincoln, MA), Sophia Smith Collection (Northampton, MA). 1-2 variable credits
