HUM 425 Special Topics: Cross-Cultural Studies
This course provides students with opportunities for cross-cultural study at countless sites in and around Parma, Italy. Every opportunity is customized to students' interests and career goals. Students will visit cooperate agencies, hospitals, museums, or other appropriate venues for purposes of expanding cultural, social, and/or disciplinary perspectives as related to the global community.
Students pursuing almost any field of study may be interested in a HUM 425. Past experiences include: nursing students who had the opportunity to visit several hospitals; occupational therapy students who participated in a seminar in Bologna and visited OT patients at the hospital and OT garden; political science students who attended local political gatherings and visited the Senate in Rome; public health students who visited a doctor in the Parma Hospital to learn about the Italian Public Health system.
Additional opportunities may be arranged (fermentation, biology, neuroscience, journalism, sports management, etc.).
*NOTE: Humanities 425 visits are strictly hands-off and are not related to professional-level coursework.
