Multi-Cultural Work Environments

Catalog description

This is an independent study course that is open to international students whose internships will be in a country other than that of their citizenship or prior work experience. The goal is to promote an understanding of the cultural assumptions we bring to the work environment and the effects of cultural differences on organizational interactions and productivity. Students may register for the course after obtaining an internship offer and completing the application for the course. International students will obtain and process work authorization forms with the International Students Office. Final grade is dependent on completion of a 5 page paper describing the internship and its relationship to the student's academic study. Can be repeated for credit up to 3 credits. Prerequisite(s): must be an international student with a declared School of Business Major. S/U graded.
