Individually Arranged Cross-Cultural Studies

Some students choose to research and design their own cross-cultural experience. This option can fulfill the cross-cultural requirement if the experience is designed to study a significantly different culture; it has to be prepared for and intentionally undertaken with an academic goal in mind.

To receive credit, a student must spend at minimum 45 hours over a period of no less than 7 days of one-on-one interaction with the intended culture.
