It will be broad and diverse and cover many of the following main topics: Communication (interpersonal and public) and Media, History, Geography, Culture, Economics and Development, and Political Science. We will investigate the impact that an internationally-centered education has on your personal beliefs, attitudes, opinions, and values. We will assess how a foreign culture can help you understand others' views as well as your own. Depending on the thematic topics we pick, we could be looking at your place in the world and how foreign countries, cultures, and individuals impact you.
