Northeast Texas Community College students and faculty members recently traveled to Washington D.C. as a part of the NTCC Travel Study Course program. Students had the opportunity to tour the nation’s capital while earning college credit hours in history, government, English, and photography courses.

NTCC Government Professor Rex Allen said this year’s travel course to Washington gave students an experience that goes well beyond the classroom.

“When students see these things firsthand and go into the buildings where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are located, it has more of an impact and more of a feeling like they were almost there when it was done,” Allen said. “It’s better than just hearing about it in the classroom. Students actually see things and can say, ‘Hey, that’s the original document, there is the White House where the president lives, and they get to see protestors and other things they wouldn’t see unless they were there.”
