Session II Courses: July 10-August 2
Registration for this course is closed. Applications for this course were due April 28.
Instructors: Andy Civettini, Thomas Bell
Mode of Delivery: In person only; must reside in group housing in Chicago.
Note: Tuition charge is based on 1.5 credits ($2400). An additional program fee of $1000 is required of all participants.
Course Description: Chicago is the third largest city in the United States and largest not located on either coast. It is a vibrant, diverse, multicultural city at the forefront of American art, culture, business, and society. Together, Knox students and faculty will spend three and a half weeks immersed in the life, work, and culture of Chicago, experiencing and sharing what life and work is like in the city. Students will have a small internship (approx. four days per week); throughout the program in order to develop a sense of what working in a large cosmopolitan city is like. In addition to internships that will be tailored to students’ interests and Knox educational pursuits, as a group we will spend the remainder of our time exploring the various cultural activities that help us understand the history, social fabric, and future of Chicago. We will explore neighborhoods, historical and cultural institutions, and participate in community events throughout the city. The course challenges students to discover what life is like in a multicultural city from different perspectives and different heritages. Students will leave the program with invaluable experience in an internship tied to their academic pursuits, but also with a deeper sense of the rich cultural tapestry of Chicago and how the city enhances our shared experience in the world. Meets Active Learning / Immersion Requirement.
Prerequisites/Comments: Current Knox students only. An application is required for this course. Students from all majors (or undeclared) are encouraged to apply.
