UMBR ISXX 498 - Independent Study

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Description:

The course will consist of a semester-long, in-depth study in a particular area of interest for the student, who works in close contact with and is mentored by an individual faculty member. It is expected that the student will have sufficient background and experience (through completion of previous relevant courses) in the particular area of study. The purpose of the course is twofold: to allow students to engage in advanced work (which expands the curricular offerings in terms of depth within a specific field of interest) and to present new academic and experiential opportunities within the study abroad experience. The goal is to expose students to new academically-rich experiences and to have them take advantage of resources and opportunities that would not be available to them at their home institutions. In this way, the independent study enhances the specific value of study abroad. (Perugia, Italy, http://www.arcadia.edu/abroad/itUmbraInstitute )
