Abstract:
Since 1995 we have offered a collaborative Study Abroad experience that includes students from multiple programs and countries. The course is taught by three to six faculty members each summer and annually focuses on a different issue in sustainable natural resources. The location of the course alternates each year between Europe and North America. By teaching this course collaboratively, not only do our students enjoy an enriching Study Abroad experience, but they also get to work closely with individuals from different backgrounds and nationalities. We believe that this Study Abroad short-course format allows us to extend our international teaching effort while also providing our students with additional experience in the areas of teamwork and critical thinking.
