The course offered*:

• Intercultural/International Communication – 3 credits
  

How do we communicate with people who are different from us? That’s the main question this course explores. On the intercultural interpersonal level, we will study how individuals from different countries, races, religions, and ethnicities form relationships. On the international global level, we will study how organizations reach large audiences. We will explore topics ranging from how Norwegians and Americans greet strangers on the street, to similarities and differences in each country when communicating with friends, family members, and co-workers, to how major companies in Norway and the USA advertise. From waffles and brown cheese to peanut butter and jelly, from skiing and saunas to baseball and Black Friday, we will study the messages produced by and about both countries and the people who live in them. This course will include readings and discussions as well as hands-on experiences of interviews, field trips, films, food tastings, and social media creation.

• Oslo: Vikings to Hipsters – 3 credits

What makes a city a city? What can you learn about a people, a country, a culture, by studying one of its major cities? What makes the city of Oslo unique? How can learning the history of Oslo help us understand Norway? These are the questions we will examine as we explore Oslo, Norway, learn about its history, culture, construction, and the challenges facing it into the future.

Learning Objectives:

- Understand what makes a “city”
- Research history, culture, and demographics of Oslo, Norway
- Explore Oslo first-hand to learn about city layout, culture, and identity
- Examine the modern pressures that will shape Oslo into the future
- Discuss “Oslo” as a microcosm of Norway
- Explore the idea of the city as ecosystem
