American and Global Mosaic Semester Programs

202 Mosaic Semester A 4-course credit community study with extensive field work which engages students and faculty in an intensive, first-hand examination of the history, sociology, ethnography, and culture of a local community in central Pennsylvania. The particular site of the study and the methodological approach varies according to the interests and expertise of the collaborating faculty who team-teach the semester. Students in the Mosaic concentrate on this project during the semester, integrating three courses as well an independent study for a total of four courses based on their field work under the direction of one of the contributing faculty. Prerequisite: sophomore standing and permission of the instructors.

Emphasis is given to the influence of culture on the interpretation of the communication act and to the communication skills that enhance cross-cultural communication.Offered in Summer School only.

390 Intercultural Seminar This seminar is offered at selected Dickinson Centers abroad to encourage students to reflect broadly on their site-specific experiences. The experiential and the theoretical dimensions of out-of-class experiences such as internships and service learning reinforce and enrich one another, providing students with a window onto the workings of their host society. Through readings, class discussions, writing assignments, and presentations, this seminar provides a rigorous academic context for evaluating and understanding the experiential components of the course. Offered only at selected Dickinson Centers abroad programs. Contact the Office of Global Education for the list of programs offering this course.
