This course provides an opportunity for students to participate in new learning abroad opportunities, such as faculty-led study tours, offered by the School of Culture, History and Language. This shell course is intended for newly developed in-country classes whose offering is dependent on external circumstances, such as first-time New Colombo Plan funding or government approval, and in-country classes intended as a one-time only offering.
