Maximize your experience before you go!
This course provides you with cross-cultural communication tools and critical thinking skills that will enhance your experience abroad. Through in-class activities, group discussions, and writing exercises, you’ll gather valuable information about your host community and explore how cultural values shape daily experience.
Exploring aspects of American culture will also raise awareness about your inherent assumptions and values, making you more sensitive to the impressions you may inadvertently create while abroad. We’ll discuss options for how to productively manage common challenges, stay safe, and have a successful and fun international experience.
