Cross Cultural & International Education in Bowling Green State University
For the purposes of this program, the term cross-cultural and international education is defined as the examination of education from diverse perspectives in an international context. The issues that students address in this program transcend national boundaries. This differs from multicultural education which specifically examines issues within a single nation. The program connects issues of cultural and international understanding with educational theory and practice through a unique combination of courses from several disciplines on the BGSU campus. Students gain the academic basis for their program from select courses in the College of Education and Human Development and the College of Arts and Sciences. The students then apply this academic foundation to a practical cross-cultural/ international internship experience, followed by a research-based cap-stone experience.
