This coming May, we will once again set off on a traveling study abroad program to explore Brazil, visiting Rio de Janeiro, Paraty (a coastal village on the beautiful "Green Coast"), and Sao Paulo
Using the unique Brazilian location, we seek to carefully integrate real-world experiences back into the classroom. Students will engage in cultural and professional visits in each city we visit, and our professors will help students to better understand how current events are inter-related with our course materials. Students will have classes with local professors, meet local tour guides, and engage with local citizens. Depending on the course they select, students may be sent on assignments to interview local people about current issues or cultural perceptions, and then will return to the classroom to debate and discuss, and to have that experience integrated back into the classroom discussions.

Classes for our upcoming programs are thought-provoking, interesting and fun. We expect students to be open minded, engaged and eager to learn about other countries and cultures. In-class instruction is enhanced with an out-of-class experience that includes escorted professional visits to economic organizations and leading international companies. Students can choose up to two courses, for a total of six semester credits: |
I would 100% recommend this program to other Iowa students. I have learned so much ... and will carry that with me for the rest of my life."
