Research has shown that academic study of culture and experience in intercultural contexts are not sufficient for developing increased ability to function effectively in intercultural interactions. Our capstone class, ASSC 3150 (Intercultural Communication) will help you tie what you have learnt together, gain a deeper understanding of intercultural difference and commonality, and become more able to understand other cultural patterns and adapt to them.
