Preparing undergraduates and training faculty to succeed in a global society requires colleges to infuse international and intercultural dimensions into the curriculum. A Title VI grant funded the development and pilot of six Integrated Intensive Courses Abroad (IICA). These courses incorporate discipline‐specific content studies with foreign language and ground them in a study abroad experience. Content and language instructors were paired and cross‐trained in each other's discipline to enable them to design and teach these interdisciplinary courses. This article outlines the purpose, development, essential resources, and preliminary outcomes of integrating UCAs into a college curriculum. Results from a postcourse survey suggest that the IICA model improved students' language proficiency and understanding of the content discipline beyond what would have been expected in a traditional course.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
