The Study Abroad experience for the Global Studies students will provide the necessary proficiency skills in the language for the students to be able to communicate in the target language. The students will be immersed in the language for six weeks living with a host family and visiting the language school. During the course the students will have the opportunity to learn, share and understand the perspectives and products of other cultures in order to enhance a global vision. The students will receive a final grade through a cumulative portfolio with activities, work samples, photos, a journal of the activities in the program, and attendance.
