Taken in conjunction with a credit-bearing work placement, the course allows students to gain a greater understanding of workplace culture within the host country. It provides a framework to explore and reflect on the professional and cultural practices observed in the internship. The course and placement form an intercultural learning experience in which students can examine socio-cultural differences, beliefs and values while immersed in a diverse organizational and professional community. Through class sessions and assignments, students address the ways in which culture informs both work and learning. Effective Summer 2020, this course fulfills a single unit in the following BU Hub area: The Individual in Community.
