International 3 Credit Elective Travel/Study Courses



The Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences (MSASS) offers various overseas short-term undergraduate and graduate 3 credit elective courses throughout the year. They take place during Winter, Spring and Summer Breaks. Each one is an exciting opportunity to see and learn about another part of the world.

MSASS Travel/Study "Award Winning" Courses invite all  undergraduate and graduate students.  Alumni and friends are also invited on many programs. We are currently seeking CEU program approval. Courses are experiential and multi-sensory, taking students out of the classroom setting and into the field. Courses require spring registration, no prerequisites or language required and financial aid is available. Contact Nancy Issa, nancy.issa@case.edu, at the financial aid office about adjusting your loans to help defray cost of travel abroad

These opportunities offer global learning in the understanding of how culture, values and history influence how societies address social issues. Each course provides a chance to meet with leading scholars, policy makers, health-care providers, practitioners, clients and students from another country. Participants are able to compare policies & services as a way to understand their own system better & to learn alternative approaches to address social issues. They are also able to experience a culture different from their own as a way to promote personal growth, enhance cultural sensitivity, and expand their world views.
