International Experience

Catalog description

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the social, technological, economic and political environment of a foreign country. Each year a different country is selected by the faculty advisor and the relationship partner at PwC. The trip includes a visit to the local PwC offices, including a site visit with clients. We will also plan daily excursions in order to better understand the local economy and culture. Learning about a new country requires open-mindedness and a willingness to step out of one’s comfort zone. In today’s globalized world, it is imperative that students have experiences in many different settings. In preparing for the trip, it is highly recommended that you visit the following website http://www2.pacific.edu/sis/culture/index.htm. This site provides excellent advice about travelling abroad, especially in regards to addressing the cultural differences you will experience.
