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.

*The course offering is subject to change
