SOCWK 631 - Immersion in Latin American Cultures

3 credit(s)
Offers an immersion experience in a Latin American culture. Students will be exposed to various aspects of culture, such as language, traditions, and the social, economic, and political dimensions of Latino experience with a direct application to social work practice and human rights. This class may be offered either internationally or domestically. Whether local or abroad, students interact with Spanish-speaking families and community members. Students also learn about social services specific to the needs of the Latino community and participate in community service projects. Because world events can impact travel courses such as this, the specific location of travel will be announced during the spring semester and may change from year from year. Travel fees required. Open to all students.
