COLL 450 Study Abroad Reflection

This course should be taken in the semester immediately after returning from study abroad (Fall for students who were abroad in Spring or Summer; Spring for those who were abroad in Fall). Students will examine foundational theoretical concepts associated with re-entry shock/adaptation. Students will reflect upon their own experiences abroad in terms of their expectations and adjustments, and how the experience abroad has shaped their sense of self-identity in relation to specific groups. They will also examine the value that study abroad has added to their lives in terms of future educational and professional goals.
