In addition to your 3-credit business consulting course and project, you will choose 1 CEA CAPA Core course and 2-3 additional CEA CAPA course to take from the catalog of course options available to you. This provides you with the opportunity to gain professional experience while also making progress toward your degree requirements and engaging in classes that afford a richer cultural experience.
Courses meet for 45 contact hours/3 credits. Elective courses meet 2 times per week, Monday-Thursday. Active learning components required by your courses may be scheduled for Fridays. Overall, students may earn 12-15 credits.
Prior to departure, you will select your preferred courses and take an online language placement exam (if enrolling in a language course). You will be enrolled into courses based on their availability.
