The Cross-Cultural Experience course is an off-campus experience in a culture significantly different from the student's own. The course fulfills the Cross-Cultural Encounter component in the general education curriculum. Prior to the experience the student is required to undergo preparatory work set by the Cross-Cultural Experience Committee. After the experience the student engages in follow-up sessions and is required to write a paper. Details are available from the Cross-Cultural Experience Coordinator, Dr. Malcolm Gold, or the Administrative Assistant in the Department of History, Philosophy, and Social Sciences.
