Studying the literature or culture of another society, presented by someone who has been there, gives the subject a richness that book knowledge cannot match. Finally, international education involves specific coursework. As part of the general education curriculum, each GC student completes at least 12 hours of classes in international education. Others choose to design their own SST in consultation with their academic adviser and the academic dean. Depending on the length and the nature of the time abroad, this alternative can meet either a part or all of the international education requirement.
Some students combine an off-campus alternative with international courses offered on campus.
Choosing this option allows you to tailor your international experience to your interests. International courses are available in Bible and religion, communication, business and economics, English, foreign language, Hispanic ministries, history and political science and sociology and anthropology.
