This chapter is a case study of Carroll Community College, a small rural community college, and its plan to develop a viable travel program by using a hybrid model. This model includes three distinct cohorts: study abroad students (students who travel and take an associated credit course), lifelong learning students (travelers who take a continuing education course to prepare for the travel experience), and educational tourists (travelers who do not take an associated course). By allowing not only study abroad students but also lifelong learners (often called continuing education students) to participate in an international travel program, Carroll's mission is addressed. This chapter is a case study of how and why Carroll implemented the hybrid model as an example for other small community colleges that might wish to achieve similar results.
