Question 1 - How much does the course cost?

The cost of this off-campus course is $3,660 which includes flights, land transportation, food, admission to official sites, and lodging while away from campus. It does not include souvenirs, alcoholic beverages, non-official admission charges, or personal care items. This cost is on top of the regular tuition and room and board charges.

Question 2 - What all will we see during our travels?

We will fly to Rapid City, SD, where we will then take a van west. We will visit many sites, including Devil’s Tower, Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse monument, museums, Yellowstone National Park, Wind Cave National Park, a wild horse safari, Native American cultural sites, Wind Cave National Park, and much more. Then we will travel east of Rapid City to the Badlands National Park, Wall Drug and points in between. It’s going to be busy and epic!

Question 3 - Do I need a professional camera for this course?

No. Of course, having a good DSLR camera with a telephoto lens would be very helpful in capturing images, especially from a distance. However, a good I-phone camera or high-quality Samsung phone camera is also acceptable. I have captured many amazing images with my phone camera.

Question 4 - How long will we be traveling off campus?

We will begin the term with two days on campus before we fly west. Then we will travel via van for 14 days before returning to Hanover to finish our projects before the term ends.
