International EducationThe Center for International Education provides intercultural education experiences for undergraduate students through the following programs: Australian programs in Fremantle; Austrian program in Salzburg; Chinese program in Beibei; British programs in London; Central American program in Granada and Bagaces; French program in Cannes; Greco-Roman program in Athens and Rome; Irish program in Galway and Cork; South African programs in Port Elizabeth; Japanese program in Tokyo; and Spanish program in Segovia. Each study abroad program is limited to approximately 30 participants. In keeping with the goals of a liberal education, the colleges' international programs allow students to explore diverse manifestations of the human condition and to examine fundamental, recurring questions about themselves and the world. The emphasis is upon a disciplined and focused curriculum which is designed to take full advantage of local, regional and national opportunities at each site. Courses taught abroad are integrated fully into the core curriculum and/or departmental offerings. Each program includes a required pre-departure course that includes readings, lectures, discussions, writing assignments and audio-visual components. These on-campus classes, together with individualized academic planning and increased attention to building upon the international experience after return to campus, serve to integrate the study abroad programs into the overall curriculum.
