(High Impact Study Abroad), HISW (High Impact Study Away)
Definition: Provide an opportunity to engage in some portion of study (either partial or full semester) in an off-campus setting (i.e., another city, state or country). Study abroad incorporates credit-bearing academic programs outside of the United States including classroom study, research, intern- or externships, and service learning. Study away refers to academic activities within the United States. For example, field studies that take students off campus for a week or more would qualify. The location of study must be central to the course objectives. One-day field trips do not constitute study abroad/away experiences.
Criteria:
- The class includes a trip for at least a week (study abroad courses travel outside of the US; study away courses travel within the US)
- to a site central to course learning objectives.
Student Learning Outcomes:
- Students will explain (a) new or different perspective(s) as a result of learning from or with diverse communities or cultures.
- Students will apply previous knowledge or skills to demonstrate comprehension and performance in novel situations.
