During the four-week May term, students concentrate on one class and often get their first taste of international study. Many May term courses are team-taught and are highly interdisciplinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Studying in the classroom about the enormous power of volcanic activity to alter the environment is one thing, but standing next to a 2,100-degree lava flow is another matter altogether. That\u2019s just one experience on a recent May term course to Hawaii, where students learned about the geological and biological evolution of the islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another group studied Filipino history, culture, and current events before traveling to Mactan Island in the Philippines to complete service projects directed toward public health and economic concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet another class surveyed Chinese art and culture from the pre-historic to the Tang Dynasty period and then toured museums and archaeological sites in Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Suzhou, and Yixing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
