性视界传媒

In order to enrich the intercultural and international awareness of our campus community, 性视界传媒 offers a transportation-subsidized overseas course of approximately three weeks to any junior student who has fulfilled the following requirements. These tours occur during the annual May Term. Detailed information about eligibility and specific study tours is available from the director of Juniors Abroad.

Objectives

The student who successfully participates in Juniors Abroad will:

1. Experience cross-cultural learning opportunities in cultures distinctly different from their own;
2. Interact with the host culture through informal and formal contacts;
3. Experience what it means to be a cultural "minority";
4. Understand how to participate responsibly in a diverse global community;
5. Learn, through the study of disciplines such as the fine arts, language, science, architecture, or history, how various social institutions affect the host culture.
