  • New World Perspective By: Carolyn Ellison staff writer Do you remember when you were ounger, looking at a map of the world ith wide eyes? Well luckily here at WCU ou can satisfy your curiosity to travel to he many corners of the world through esterns different study abroad pro grams. Many students do not realize all of the options they have here at WCU. WCU goes way beyond Cullowhee, North Carolina, Study Abroad Adviso ohn Schweikart said. CU has partnerships with different uni ersities all over the globe, and this is a aluable resource for our students. From studying abroad for a semes er in London to a three-week summe rip to China, there are different ways to go about traveling through WCU. This op portunity is available to all students at estern, including graduate students. he first step is to call and make an ap pointment with Schweikart and fill out an interest Form. Students must get thei lasses approved by their department o avoid falling behind on class credits. Next, make an appointment with an IP advisor (International Programs and Ser ices). If you are looking to take off for a semester, make sure you plan six to eight months in advance. It is vital to obtain a passport on time. A grade point average of at least 2.75 is required to study a full semester abroad. The sooner you start planning, the more prepared you will be. Leaving the country is a process hat requires commitment and research, before you make a final decision. Traveling abroad is an integral ex perience that enhances your college ed ucation, Schweikart said. Many hiring businesses and employers consider it a plus if international experience is includ ad in your resume.Companies are more so looking for students who can iculiate now anc why makes you a better employee. Traveling is certainly one way ~ open your eyes and mind to the world, | unior, Michael Oshea, gained a lot of trav eling experience through the study abroad | program. Oshea traveled to Scotland for at experience a semester and to France and Spain for, a three-week educational tour. It is pos-+. sible to study up to three total semesters) abroad. | After studying abroad, and hav-_ ing my surroundings completely changed,]| |F | feel like | aged years mentally, Oshea said. The experience has definitely influ enced me academically and with what lam doing in my life now. if half of a year sounds too long, here are several trips that take place dur ing the summer that offer international exposure as well as class credit. Donnie tepp, Jr., from the Communications De partment, is taking a class over seas tc ravel Germany this June and all major are welcome. Stepp has already been to Germany once, as part of working towards his PhD. The trip consists of stops in Frank urt, Cologne, Hamburg, and Berlin. Senio and History Major, Bryan Tugwell attended tepps three-week class last summer. We had a blast and learned a lot on he trip, Tugwell said. ugwell spoke excitedly of one of thei irst nights in the hostels where Western students spent hours sharing stimulating onversation with other students from Germany, Ireland, Scotland, and England. One thing I learned is that you ma have a distorted view of the world and America if you only have an American per spective, Tugwell said. Upon proper completion of the lass, students will earn three Arts & Sci ences Interdisciplinary elective credits. he class covers a wide variety of topics like business, culture, language and histo ry. According to Stepp, students will get tc meet and interact with the people of Ger many, including professors from German universities. StL igs AGE AER eae! Students are not expected to attempt o learn the German language, though a dictionary and guidebook would be helpful, there will be a small section of the class devoted to learning some German words and phrases. The trip involves lots of sightseeing and excur ions, like river cruises, cable car rides, and sports stadiums. There is free time located in the open session part of he itinerary to allow students to ven ure to places close by they might be in erested in. Ideally students will have a dynamic personal and academic ex perience that will offer global perspec ives that may help broaden horizons. Students should be able to walk away with a new view of the world and America, Stepp said. if you are interested in the 2008 Ger man Cultural Immersion class/trip, ontact Instructor Donnie Stepp, Jr., at dstepp@wcu.edu.

How ever there is still airfare, application ees and spending money that are left over.
