Cuba may not be a Spring Break hotspot—particularly given that Americans are prohibited from visiting the island solely for tourism. But for a group of Rutgers Law School students, Cuba turned out to be a truly unique and educational Spring Break destination, made possible through a travel course designed to expose students to Cuban law, history, and society through firsthand encounters with local attorneys, activists, students, and community members. The course is taught each year by Rutgers Law Clinical Professor Charles Auffant. Check out this video with highlights from the trip.

For Faculty & Staff
Whether the goal is to offer students a hands-on experience with critical global topics discussed in the classroom, immerse them in a language or culture, or show them how others solve problems or build communities, our staff can help make that opportunity a reality.
Travel, Health & Safety
Once admitted to a study abroad program, we provide students with in-depth information on program location, instructions for how to prepare for a program and its locale, and tips and suggestions for how to remain safe and healthy throughout the experience abroad.
