Today’s global organizations are seeking young professionals with genuine international experience and the ability to operate successfully across cultural, political and linguistic boundaries. Our program develops the intercultural skills essential to success in the global workforce. Providing a rigorous academic environment in which students can learn these skills is not enough. The following elements play a prominent role in success of our program:
-
Learning Outcomes
Practical learning outcomes are the result of purposeful
integration of academic study, intercultural living and
experiential learning.
-
Intercultural Leadership Forum
To make certain the program’s learning outcomes remain on the leading edge of relevancy for our students, we have enlisted senior-level managers from multinational corporations and organizations such as HSBC Bank, Intercontinental Hotels, Microsoft and IBM to influence the curricular development of the program.
-
Experiential Education
We have embraced an experiential education model to provide an interactive learning environment in which students can most effectively grasp the ideas and concepts learned inside the classroom and while engaged in our academically integrated port program.
-
Assessment
The Scholar Ship ensures the integrity of its
academic program through its commitment to
assess not only how well students achieve the
learning objectives of the program, but also
the effectiveness of the academic teaching
staff and how well the program in its entirety
supports The Scholar Ship’s integration
of academic study, intercultural living and
experiential learning. Using a variety of
assessment tools such as the Intercultural
Development Inventory (IDI) and evaluation
instruments, The Scholar Ship underscores
its commitment to quality and continuous
improvement of its support of student success.
