Identify and describe instances during local, regional or international travel where their cultural competence has been challenged, their response to the challenges, and their growth in cultural competence.

Demonstrate knowledge of cultural aspects of the local community gained through their program experiences.

Critically reflect on own cultural biases as well as others’ attitudes toward them as Americans after engagement in various cultures, including explorations through travel.

Critically analyze how their biases and expectations about living in the United Kingdom have changed throughout their experience on the program.

Recount their expectations about re-acculturation and re-entry upon returning home.

Relate satisfactory achievement of individual program goals (formal coursework; applied class assignments; field trips; communal living; home visits or cultural contact experiences; volunteer experiences; and personal cultural learning opportunities)
