Take international course on campus!

As you may know, many students were disappointed that their study abroad programs were recently cut short or cancelled due to Covid-19. However, students at ECU are fortunate that they can still have an international experience right here on campus through our unique virtual exchange courses. These courses allow our students to interact and collaborate with students from up to three universities abroad, in real time.

These courses are also a great avenue for students who may be apprehensive to study abroad but would still like have an experience where they can build the skills, knowledge, and values necessary to succeed in a global multicultural society. The importance of international interconnection and effectively working across cultures is on full display given our current situation!

This fall we will offer several sections of Global Understanding courses across multiple disciples. Most of these courses have the Global Diversity designation and fulfill either the SOC or HUM General Education requirements. We are also offering two exciting new virtual exchange courses this fall, Global Business and Global Environment.
