A portion of the Langauge and Cultural Practicum course will focus on language required to carry out the practicum activities. Practicum activities may include everyday activities such as purchasing and mailing postcards at the post office, visiting a factory or government office, conducting a market survey, or attending a cultural event. Some of these activities will be specifically prescribed others will be at the discretion of the student. All students will be required to keep a journal examining and comparing Chinese and American culture as well as the students reactions to any cultural differences as part of the course. Students will earn 6 semester credit hours for completing these courses.
Financial aid is far more available for study abroad than students commonly imagine.
Awards of financial aid for study abroad are based, in part, on financial need. The level of a student s need is measured by a formal evaluation process.
