Interdisciplinary

These are group trips of one to six weeks in length, designed to produce learning through exposure to or involvement in a culture different from one’s own. Some emphasize service and work; others concentrate on lectures and field trips in the setting. Destinations may be international or domestic. May be taken four times for credit when topics vary.

Students approved by the Office of Academic Affairs for a semester abroad through approved study abroad programs should register for this course during the semester they are abroad. Upon receipt of the official transcript from the study abroad school, each course taken will be recorded on the WC transcript as residence credit and this course will be removed. May be taken four times for credit.

Students will travel to political centers (Washington DC, State Legislative Capitals, etc.…) to engage with their legislators on a particular issue(s). Prior to the trip, and during, students will learn about a predetermined issue(s) how to advocate for that issue. Students will also gain an understanding of government policy, learn how to craft, and frame messages, and develop public speaking skills in a political setting. May be taken two times for credit.
