Future Programs
The semester program is the recommended intercultural study option. Each semester program includes 15 semester hours of credit taken as five (3 SH) courses. The experience integrates course content through analysis and experiential learning. Nine hours of the semester program meet the intercultural requirements in the EMU Core Curriculum. This includes the core experiential course (Intercultural Social Science), and six additional hours of intercultural designates. A semester intercultural also includes one faith course meeting the “Christian Identity and Witness” requirement. The remaining courses may include language, history and culture, or an area of faculty expertise.
Summer seminars provide exposure to another cultural context for 3-6 weeks. A three-week experience comprises the core intercultural social science course, while six-week seminars include a second 3 SH course. The Washington Community Scholars’ Center offers fall, spring and summer terms. WCSC semester coursework meets all core intercultural requirements except foreign language.
