This course challenges you to open your mind to another culture, to work with people from various backgrounds, ages and cultures. There is also the personal challenge in learning how to manage your time while dealing with studying, planning an assignment, working with a partner, finding and reporting to a company, researching, networking, making presentations, completing a report, fitting into a group, culture shock, and balancing your personal lifestyle with both the group’s and daily programming requirements. And all that in an international environment.

 

We believe this Minor will give you a varied, instructive and rewarding experience and will be excellent for your career and be a true lifetime experience!

 

We look forward to getting to know you!
