The Heart of i-CORE

Given today's global interactions , it's important to develop intercultural skills that lead to employment and personal success. The richer our global skill set, the greater the number of doors that open to us.

This course brings international students together to engage in research projects and education. Students experience differences across time zones, language abilities, and culture, all while navigating project stages from concept to completion.

Research shows that global interaction of this type increases intercultural competence. 

i-CORE is the right move for intercultural learning and prepares you for eventual study abroad and internships.
