Experiential Education

Integrate solid academic work with real-life experiences. You learn not only from books, but also by living fully in the midst of the society you are studying, encountering the people and culture inside and outside the walls of a classroom. 

Diverse guest speakers

Learn directly from local people involved in some of the most important issues of our time -- policy-makers and business leaders; human rights advocates and community organizers; members of women's organizations and union workers; the poor and marginalized. 

Living/learning community

Reflect on your learning experience together in a community of students interested in similar issues. 

Family stay

Spend several days to several weeks living with local families and participate in their daily life/activities. 

Regional travel

Broaden your perspective on the cultural history and current social and political struggles in the region through group travel experiences. There are also opportunities for individual travel on weekends and breaks.
