Travel Programs
Classroom studies are just the beginning of the Baker School experience. Our travel programs take learning beyond campus, offering students the opportunity to engage directly with policymakers, industry leaders, and cultural institutions around the world. These experiences combine focused academic study with real-world insight.
Each program is designed to deepen understanding, inspire curiosity, and prepare students to make meaningful contributions on a global scale.
Japan Ambassadors
Japan Ambassadors is a two-week Programs Abroad program in Japan. Students will follow in the footsteps of former U.S. Ambassador to Japan, Howard H. Baker, to learn about Japanese culture, politics, history, foreign policy, and U.S.-Japan relations through meetings with Japanese scholars, U.S. diplomatic staff, researchers at think tanks, and university students.
