UC 286: Engaged Learning Abroad

A 1-credit reflective learning seminar that supports integrative intercultural learning for UM students currently studying abroad.

Class sessions are held using Google Hangout and scheduled based on student availability.  

Request to register by February 3^rd.   

Course begins the week of February 10^th, and will conclude by April 20^th.  

This course offered by the UM Center for Global and Intercultural Study explores the processes of transitioning to a new cultural context, adapting and engaging abroad.  Through guided reflections and a brief group project you will explore strategies to engage locally—socially and academically—while learning how to articulate what you are learning along the way. This course allows students to reflect on their intercultural experiences while they are engaging in their global program, while co-learning with students studying in other parts of the world.  Students will process lessons learned and analyze their personal development from before, during and after their programs.  Developing and articulating skills learned abroad will allow students to utilize individual transformation for their personal, career and academic interests. Coursework is conducted with online sharing platforms.
