Pathways to Completion

Students should complete the experiential Trek components in the most reasonable order to maximize their unique degree experience; it is recommended that at least two (2) of the three (3) experiential components (Career, Community, and Culture) are completed by the end of the Junior year May term.

Under most circumstances, prior life experience does not replace campus-supervised fulfillment of Trek Experiential Learning graduation requirements.
