The Cultural Seminar
is a four-credit academic course that emphasizes critical reading and discussion. The seminar provides first-semester freshmen with a gateway learning experience to complete the foundational course in the General Education Program. Students will explore their own and another culture and evaluate a global issue from multiple perspectives.
The course will have several common elements: Common read, Common learning outcomes, Common assessment, and Common orientation and convocations.

So, what does it mean to “Study Away”? Students choose STUDY AWAY experiences – either local, domesti, and/or international, for their cross-cultural experience, to fit into their majors.
Track 1: Study abroad, for a summer, semester or yearlong program. E.G. Bordeaux, France; Marburg, Germany; Sydney, Australia; Seoul, South Korea; Leon/Guanajuato, Mexico (Affiliated programs).
Track 2: Approved NCEP course, whether overseas or domestic. New Cultural Experience Programs are around two weeks off campus. E.G.: Thailand, Paris, South Africa, Marburg/Frankfurt, China, Australia-New Zealand; Alaska; EU.
Track 3: Approved for-credit CCE course or internship. Courses or approved internships are at least 60 hours within a cross-cultural environment. Examples: internship; regular academic course with an experiential component; clinicals; service learning; student teaching.

The Global Perspectives Colloquium
is a two-credit academic course for advanced students (usually seniors)
from multiple disciplines to engage in integration and critical reflection on
cross-cultural experiences.
The GPC seeks to engage members of the Carroll community, models
interdisciplinary and life-long learning, and serves as a gateway
