All Roanoke College students are required to complete at least one unit of Intensive Learning to graduate from Roanoke College.

The College provides a wide array of Intensive Learning opportunities, including travel courses as well as on-campus courses. The majority of these courses are offered in May, during a three-week term, although some travel courses may run a little over or a little under the three-week period. 

There are several types of courses:

  • Campus Courses - These are taught on campus, though some may include half-day or full-day trips off campus.
  • Field trip courses - These are taught mostly on campus but with overnight stays of no more than 5 nights off campus.
  • Travel Courses - These are taught mostly or entirely off-campus. There are two types of IL travel courses - domestic and abroad.
