Dupont takes pride that, by the end of the program, 25 class field trips and guest lectures will have been conducted, allowing each of the program's students some personal contact with a local professional or an aspect of the local culture and history. The program's diverse offering of classes allowed students to study many topics, ranging from the Holocaust, Italian Renaissance art, alpine geology and European fairy tales to international film, the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and principles of marketing.

Students also took part in field trips that brought them to locations such as Salzburg, Munich, northern Italy, Alpine glaciers and important World War II sites, such as Dachau concentration camp and Hitler's Eagles' Nest.

They attended guest lectures from experts in international trade, commerce, journalism and tourism. Active cultural programming also took students hiking, biking, swimming in lakes and summer tobogganing down Alpine-lined peaks. Moreover, students met local media, made radio appearances and got to know Austrian students in a "buddy" program.
