Wor-Wic Community College will offer its credit degree students the opportunity to study abroad in January. A special seven-week program will bring students to Stirling, Scotland, to live in a residence hall for two weeks for both classroom and field-based learning.
From Jan. 3-17, students will live at the University of Stirling. They will attend classes taught by Wor-Wic professors, and take excursions to Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Highlands, as well as the nearby historic Stirling Castle, which dates back to the 1100s and is where Mary, Queen of Scots, was crowned in 1543. Students will also have some free time for exploration on their own.
Upon returning to the United States, students will continue studies for five weeks in an online program that will earn them six credits, in communications and history (COM 102 and HIS 151). Participants must be enrolled in a degree program and in good standing. Financial aid may be applied to the program. A passport, health insurance and visa waiver are required.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for students to experience a new culture in person and see history firsthand,” said Dr. Deirdra G. Johnson, vice president for strategic initiatives and community engagement.
