Cultural and Academic Adaptation
International students, permanent resident students,
and recent immigrants will find many differences in the language,
culture, and academic environment of the United States when they
begin their studies. In order to serve these students, the Seminary
offers a course on cultural and academic adaptation each fall term
on the Portland campus: DIS 532 Academic Acculturation.
Students are assisted with study and research
skills; cultural and social patterns; and communication skills.
While required for international and permanent resident students,
the course may be waived upon interview with the International Student
Coordinator or the Registrar. The course is recommended for U.S.
citizens whose first language is other than English.
