Korea is rich in cultural and social traditions. In many ways, western societies can benefit from these traditions that have lived on through many generations. The study abroad program allows western students to be immersed in Korean society through a comfortable and familiar environment.
Through the language exchange program of the English Village, native English speaking students and Korean students can live and work together in an environment that is relaxed and conducive in creating lasting fellowships and productive learning. Throughout the academic calendar students will be required to study in detail academic subjects covering international and Korean studies via Asian studies program and will be encouraged to further their own studies through an internship; an endeavor that provides a bridge between minds and attitudes through group meetings and social events.
At the heart of the study abroad program lies the Global Village. It is a purpose built community that houses students with specific design to reflect the needs of the students. The Global Village also serves as a central community for a variety of international students where they can enjoy sports and leisure activities.
Leadership for the program comes from the J. William Fulbright College of Arts.
