Education for a Global Citizen
The Education for a Global Citizen program is an intensive undergraduate program that explores current U.S. American culture, cross-cultural competencies, language immersion courses and the overall study abroad experience. Specifically designed for students who are in the midst of studying abroad, this program seeks to equip international students with strategies that will assist them in successfully approaching, understanding, and evaluating their language and cultural learning processes and experiences. The program also seeks to inform students about life and culture in the United States by directly engaging students in interactions with citizens from a variety of backgrounds. Throughout the program, students will actively participate in a mixture of discussions, presentations, outside visits, reflective writings, workshops, and related projects. This program is overseen and managed by the Office of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS), in partnership with the Minnesota English Language Program (MELP) at the University of Minnesota.
