Purdue University Fort Wayne / PFW: Various - E477 - Korean Economy and Culture

IPFW sends up to 10 full- time Business major students and 2 faculty advisors on a two week intensive Korean Language and Culture Course that is offered by the International Center for Cultural Exchange at NSU.

This course introduces business students to the Korean economy, language, and culture.  The purpose is to increase students' knowledge of Korean economy and culture so that they can engage in more effective economic activities with Korea and Asian countries.  Course learning includes campus based meetings for economic and cultural study during the Summer I semester (approximately 6 meetings), a two week intensive study abroad experience in Korea hosted by Namseoul University, and debriefing sessions after return to the United States.  All lectures on campus will be conducted in English.  In Korea, educational activities will be conducted in English or in Korean language with interpretation and translation.  This program helps friendship and cooperation to establish links between academic programs, to cooperate in the exchange of students, and to seek mutually beneficial and long-term relationships.
