Experience D.C. 2023: September 21-23

Make your deposit and mark your calendar now for the freshmen class trip to Washington D.C. You’ll explore the nation’s capital city during your first semester as a King University student.

 

All participating students are required to make a $75 deposit to secure their spot. This is the only cost to the student.

Experience DC isn’t a typical sight-seeing tour. Faculty and staff members will challenge you to study historical sites and cultural implications through a variety of lenses, and you’ll tackle thought-provoking questions when you return to the classroom. Tracks are developed around your potential college majors and interests so you’ll gain insight into your possible career choices. You’ll also be exposed to numerous career and vocational options with different fields of study. Faculty and staff members will integrate discussions and debates while you experience the Washington D.C. sites.

Previous tracks have included an art study at the National Gallery of Art; discussions of the Human Genome project at the Smithsonian Institute; learning about the media and observing an international news-gathering operation in action at NPR headquarters, and responding to human suffering at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. You’ll also explore our national landmarks, memorials and museums. You’ll also enjoy the city’s many cultural experiences such as visiting the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts or seeing the monuments by night.
