  • WLC 502 - Intercultural Competence

    [2 credit(s)]
    As the catalog description of the M.A. Program in Global Interactions makes clear, “Employers have consistently pointed to the need for master’s program graduates to gain an enhanced capacity to interact with and live in foreign societies and cultures.” This two-credit course in Intercultural Competence is designed with this goal in mind. In this class, students will explore their own cultural identity and develop an awareness of how their identity and cultural values impact their ability to interact with other cultural groups. The course design follows a workshop format that integrates intercultural training techniques to engage students in reflective activities that focus on the skills, knowledge and attitudes from which intercultural competence emerges.
