Most of these elite schools are part of the "Ivy League," a designation that has become synonymous with highly competitive and academically rigorous institutions of higher learning. Along with the "Little Ivies," a broader but still selective list of colleges, the schools visited during this program represent some of the premier educational, cultural and academic environments in the world. Each program offers students the opportunity to tour these campuses, meet with students and attend private lectures (only available at select universities). In addition, Adz Group can arrange for Japanese speaking university student guides, as well as bilingual Trip Leaders. Below are sample 5-day and 8-day programs. Please note that the Ivy League Explorer program is highly customizable and can be adjusted to meet your requests or schedule.
