BCLA Global Immersion Courses are on-campus classes, which each include a week-long abroad trip. With a Global Immersion Course, you can get out of the classroom to study a topic in-depth at the source with faculty experts. Most classes are open to all students, many fulfill at least one core requirement, and need-based financial assistance is available to help you go. If you want an abroad experience but cannot commit to a full semester program, or you want an international perspective on your major course of study, a BCLA Global Immersion Course is a great way to grow your global imagination.
DETAILS
- Courses are 1 to 4 units, like standard BCLA courses.
- Most course trips take place over spring break.
- A lab fee covers airfare, lodging, and activities for the trip. Financial assistance is available, and an application to apply for scholarships will be available in November. Questions regarding financial aid can be directed to Lauren.Sinclair@lmu.edu.
HOW TO REGISTER
- Register through PROWL as you would for a typical course.
- Reach out to the professor directly to ask questions about the course content or trip details.
