Education Abroad
The Education Abroad unit of IPS oversees the education abroad programs available to degree-seeking University students, which includes the following:
- Offering learning experiences beyond the classroom for all students at Pacific.
- Assuring that education abroad courses, in consultation with the IPS Faculty Advisory Committee, meet the same academic standards as courses on the Stockton campus.
- Selecting education abroad participants.
- Ensuring that each participant of a Pacific-approved education abroad program completes an extensive, eight-week course in Cross-Cultural Training prior to going abroad.
Students returning from an education abroad experience are also offered a re-entry course called Cross Cultural Training II. This program helps them to incorporate their experience abroad into their academic program at Pacific.
