INST - International Studies
This course is designed to provoke students to consider the international and intercultural dimensions of a wide range of disciplines. It first presents students with basic concepts and tools for thinking and working in the field and then challenges them with detailed investigations of specific issues undertaken from a variety of disciplinary perspectives.
Students register for this course once, but will complete the requirement over the course of three semesters, attending seven sessions in the semester before studying abroad, writing several short essays while abroad, and completing seven additional sessions upon returning. During the latter sessions, returning students will overlap with outgoing students, allowing them to contribute their experiences and perspectives to a new "generation" of students. Grading will be deferred until a student has completed this final set of sessions. Graded S/U.
This is a research project conducted in conjunction with an existing course in the student's primary major, and that focuses upon a topic related to international study. The faculty member in whose course the student is enrolled will serve as the primary advisor for this course. An additional faculty member will serve as a secondary advisor. Both will read and mark the project.
