The internships can last from up to one week to as a semester, and can be tailored to suit the academic and cultural needs of the participant. More information is available here.
b. Benedict College students who travel internationally in an official capacity for the university must do so through the Office of International Programs. A handbook for student travelers is available on our website or at the Office of International Programs.
a. Country Specific International Studies
i. This minor provides students with the opportunity to study the history, literature, culture, religion, language and political economy of national people from within the country itself. Thus, not only do the students receive a formal education about their host country, but they also experience unfiltered insights to the country and people as they live. In addition, students expand their comparative knowledge of the United States and its peoples. Finally, students gain an opportunity to continue their own maturation and moral development from the perspective that provides actual rather than vicarious knowledge into the hopes and dreams, fears and anxieties of their world counterparts.
ii. All students who complete a semester of full-time study (minimum 12 credit hours) abroad with semester grades of “C” or better in each class will graduate with a Country Specific Minor in International Studies.
b. Black Spanish Literature of the Americas
i. The purpose of this minor, though manifold in its long-term attempt to influence the paradigms of education at HBCUs, has two short-term objectives:
1. To advance the academic study of the oral and written literature of the Spanish-speaking Black Americas by those who create and sustain those oral and written traditions; and
2. To provide our students with the opportunity to study the oral and written language from those who have created and sustain its production.
ii. Students must successfully complete and pass all 15 required credits to earn the Minor in Black Spanish Literature of the Americas.
