IS 301 - Intercultural Relationships I, II

Semester Hour(s): 2, 2
Pre-Requisite(s): IS 300
This intercultural course is designed to prepare students for a living and study experience in a foreign environment. Lectures, presentations and discussion groups are scheduled. They aim at giving the students the basic background for exploring further the cultural heritage and transformation of the host country. They also aim at overcoming preconceived notions by making students aware of changes in family structure, peer relationships, social and political attitudes. During the second term, a journal or sketchbook, kept abroad, is used as one of the measures of the students’ growth and perceptiveness of self and environment. The first course is normally offered on the campus in the fall. The second course is ordinarily completed during the spring term abroad.
