IB 450 - Study Abroad Practicum
Credit(s): 3
This course examines the global issue of identity and adaptation in a study abroad experience. With an increasingly globalized economy, the exporting of capitalism and Western values is often exemplified as democratizing and equalizing while also vilified as 21st century colonialism. Millikin students who study abroad will bring with them their socialization in a democratic, capitalistic society all the while trying to adapt to and celebrate the culture of the host country they visit. Students will search for the balance of accepting and criticizing the culture around them, so they’re sure they’re behaving as ethical, democratic citizens. The challenge is for the study abroad experiences to allow for personal growth without the losing sight of core identities.
