Experiential Learning

Internship

Students majoring in Global and Intercultural Engagement experience a taste of international life and work when they complete a required semester-long cultural immersion internship that includes guided coursework, ethnographic research, language learning, and community service. Global and Intercultural Engagement minors also have the option to complete an 8-week summer internship. For more information or to contact Global and Intercultural Engagement staff, email GICEinternships@liberty.edu

Please note: Global and Intercultural Engagement majors or Global and Intercultural Engagement cognates with a required internship need to email GICEinternships@liberty.edu as soon as the major is declared. We encourage students with a Global and Intercultural Engagement minor or specialization who are interested in the optional internship to fill out the form as well.

Global and Intercultural Engagement Practicums

Global and Intercultural Engagement practicums provide hands-on cross-cultural opportunities in a team setting. These teams are offered during Winter, Spring, or Summer break for academic credit. Specific opportunities change each year and will be publicized during the Fall semester.

Engaging Tribal Cultures

This elective experiential learning course teaches animistic worldview, language learning, and cross-cultural adjustment in a simulated tribal setting.

Note: There is a course fee in addition to standard tuition. The current course fee is $485. This covers housing, food, transportation, and course activities, but does not cover the textbook.
