This program helps students to develop skills, knowledge, and understanding that will help them communicate and engage more appropriately and effectively in intercultural business contexts. Students will explore various topics in intercultural communication in the context of the study abroad experience and will practice intercultural learning processes to apply when working across difference in a wide variety of contexts.
Students will increase their own cultural self-awareness, relate culture-specific knowledge to intercultural communication theories and research methods, strengthen their ability to recognize and bridge cultural gaps, and develop intercultural leadership skills to help them become more effective in an interdependent world. Students will be assessed via assignments and activities that include: reflective writing, collaborative discussions, cultural visits, individual or group presentations, analysis of readings, and in-person participation.
