9.Immersion Learning or Service Learning Component All immersion or service learning courses must be individually approved with the academic coordinator of the CCCC Program Many Study Abroad Courses are appropriate to fulfill the requirement Immersion Courses may include something like the Philadelphia Travel Seminar Service Learning Courses must include a minimum of 30 hours of service learning activities in a off-campus community setting
10.Integrative Seminar in Critical Cultural Competence To be taken in a student’s final year This seminar will focus on the application of knowledge learned in the program with students evaluating the challenges and benefits of operating in a culturally competent manner Will culminate in the submission of a portfolio and project planning to enhance diversity and cultural competence in the university and the community as a whole.
11.Frequently Asked Questions What if an elective fulfills a requirement for my major? It may be possible to have certificate requirements overlap with major requirements. The coordinator will advise students individually on this matter. Can I take the electives while I’m taking the foundation course? What about before? The foundation course provides the framework by which one conceptualized the rest of their course of study. Co-curriculars may be allowable with prior approval from the program coordinator.
12.Frequently Asked Questions Can I do the Immersion/Service Learning Component as an Independent Study? We prefer for students do this portion as part of a fully formed program but there may be room for exceptions based on your plan of study. Must I be a Sophomore to start the program? A student must have at least sophomore standing to begin the program but juniors who are committed to finishing the program may also take part.
