Odyssey Immersion Program

Program Overview

Explore. Experiment. Discover what inspires you.

Through the Odyssey Immersion Program, you’ll deepen your creative, collaboration, and critical thinking skills while discovering new interests across disciplines. Along the way, you’ll build real stories and experiences you can talk about in college essays, interviews, and beyond.

For three weeks, earn college credit while traveling with Lawrence University faculty, and experience college-level learning in three distinct locations—including London.

The Odyssey Immersion Program combines small, faculty-led classes with learning experiences that happen in the places you visit—museums, neighborhoods, natural spaces, and cultural landmarks. Get a mix of academic challenge and real-world perspective that helps you see the world, and yourself, in a new way.

Where you’ll go

Your learning doesn’t stay in one place. The Odyssey Immersion Program takes you from the shoreline of Lake Michigan to the energy and history of London, with additional destinations that highlight culture, community, and the natural world.

In each location, you’ll connect what you’re studying with what you’re seeing—whether that’s analyzing art in a museum, reflecting on local history in the places where it happened, or exploring environmental themes outdoors.
