About this trip

The multicultural city of New York provides a number of exciting educational visits for psychology and sociology school trips. School groups can uncover the psychological scars left following the 9/11 attack in 2001, or learn about NYC’s immigration history at historic sites such as the Ellis Island Immigration Museum.

New York invites consideration of a range of study themes including terrorism & tyranny, immigration, and memory. WST will create a perfectly balanced New York school trip by also adding in your choice from the world famous tourist attractions on offer which will live long in the memory of your students.

Psychology, Sociology & Criminology visits in New York

Other Criminology, Psychology & Sociology Visits

  • Ellis Island Immigration Museum & Statue Of Liberty Cruise
    Two visits in one! Your island cruise allows you to hop off at the Statue of Liberty Monument - the first sight for millions of immigrants, and then Ellis Island itself. The fascinating museum holds the history of the 12 million immigrants who passed though the old immigration centre. Today, the descendants of those immigrants account for almost half of the American people. A 45-minute Audio Tour, invites visitors and school groups to relive the immigrant experience as if they were the "new arrival".
  • The Power of Advertising with an Industry Expert
    This is a unique opportunity to meet a professional who works in Television Advertising or on Madison Avenue - the home of the advertising industry. Student groups can spend 90 minutes learning the latest techniques of influence on a consumers decision.
  • Personal Experiences At The 9/11 Tribute Center
    Located next to a FDNY firehouse, the centre offers a ‘person to person history’ to help visitors understand the historic events and the people who experienced them. Various visit options are available, we highly recommend a 90 minute education programme where students will first tour the galleries learning through primary sources, before meeting with a 9/11 Tribute Centre guide who will share their unique personal 9/11 experiences, answer questions and engage students in dialogue about the future.
  • The Jewish Museum
    An interactive museum dedicated containing the largest collection of art and Jewish culture outside of museums in Israel. Take a 45 minute guided tour of the Museum's permanent exhibition, ‘Culture & Continuity: The Jewish Journey led by Museum-trained docents.
