Field Study Seminar

From WildWiki

* Field Study Seminar (4 credits)

This course will serve as a form of curriculum integration, connecting both individual and group learning through experiential education. Students will be placed at a service site with a non-profit agency, organization, or school in Christchurch approximately six hours per week to provide additional opportunities for cultural immersion and learning. In addition, several "learning expeditions" are planned in New Zealand's parks and reserves to both give students a deeper sense of place and also develop interpersonal and leadership skills necessary to be an agent of social change. Weekly reflection meetings will be held to connect these experiences to the larger themes of the program. This course will be facilitated by program faculty. Proposed Wellness Gen. Ed. (1 credit).
