Students can complete this experience in a variety of ways including:
| - Service Learning Project |
- Internship/Experiential Learning |
| - Independent Study/Research |
- Faculty-Student Collaborative Project |
| - Urban Semester program |
- Project Affinity (summer urban immersion) |
| - Study Abroad in Africa or western hemisphere African diaspora countries outside the U.S. [e.g., Caribbean region, Brazil] (semester abroad or Explorations faculty-led trip) |
| - Completion of at least two courses in Arabic, French, Portuguese, or Spanish (indigenous African languages will also count for this option) |
Students will discuss the most appropriate alternative with the academic advisor and/or professors in the course s/he has chosen as part of the minor and choose one as the mentor who will supervise the awarding of credit appropriate. Students will also prepare a written reflection making connections between the in and out of classroom experiences associated with the major. This reflection will include an explanation of the choice of experience, the relationship of the experience to minor learning objections, the academic relevance of the experience and the impact on the student’s development.
