Intercultural Competence Courses
Baylor has developed a sequence of three 1-credit (credit/no credit) courses to be offered to undergraduate students prior to, during, and following their international education experience. These courses are designed to enhance your ability to process the impact of this international experience on your personal development. These three courses will be housed and administered in the Center for Global Engagement.
This course is designed to help prepare students for study abroad or international missions trips by developing knowledge of the destination to be visited along with cultural skills, attitudes, and behaviors that will allow for more meaningful engagement while abroad.
