In each residence city, students explore and practice their own interests more deeply through Civic Projects. Civic Projects are interdisciplinary, problem-based learning modules designed to help students examine country- or region-specific issues while immersing themselves in local culture and society. The semester-long module consists of a faculty-guided team project structured to be adaptable to each team’s specialized interests and passions. Students can select and modify each semester’s modules to pursue their own goals and collaborate with their peers. All Civic Projects are designed to encourage students to engage with local people, discover local places, and confront local problems head-on.
