Program History

Since 1990 more than 140 Luther College faculty, coaches, and music ensemble directors have led student groups abroad to study, participate in athletic events, or present orchestra, band and choir concerts in more than 70 nations.

Each year three or four new faculty join the cadre of study abroad instructors, often building courses around their personal connections to a foreign place and its people.
