It is offered in the July and Summer sessions, however the specific programs available each session may vary. Programs include classroom-based seminars supplemented by a series of local excursions. Through the experience of living and learning in another country, the subject also aims to enhance students' intercultural communication skills and ability to understand other cultures, and reflect on their own values and world views.
