Travel Programs

The Office of Continuing Education offers a wide variety of travel programs. Please select a trip below for more information.

PLEASE NOTE: Walking is a large part of any travel experience. In fact, it’s one of the best ways to get to all of the spots you will want to see! If you have health problems or limited mobility, we recommend that you see your physician prior to making plans to join us on any trip.

Gallery Crawl
Take a walk on the artsy side! We’ll explore the Atlanta art scene from the traditional to the not so, from the Michelangelo to the Mike L. Angelo (don’t drive yourself crazy trying to figure out if Mike is a real artist – he is NOT). It’s an adventure in learning, an adventure in having fun, and an adventure in walking that your tennis shoes will never forgive you for if they miss it.
