Culture Immersion in San Juan, Puerto Rico
Course Number/Name: INED 399 Study Abroad in Puerto Rico
Course Description: Since 1898 when Spain ceded Puerto Rico to the United States at the end of the Spanish-American War, the mainland and the Free Associated Commonwealth of Puerto Rico have shared our history and our society. Students will experience the results of this relationship through class work and experience - both here and in San Juan at the largest of the University of Puerto Rico's eleven campuses. Cultural awareness will be augmented by visiting places of historical, social and environmental interest such as: Old San Juan, the Puerto Rican Museum of Art, Fajardo's world-renowned Bioluminescent Bay, The Cabo Rojo Salt Flats and El Yunque Rainforest. Research topics for the paper requirement of this interdisciplinary cultural immersion course will be chosen and begun in the fall upon instructor approval, and can be on any aspect of politics, history, music, ecology, economics, art, geology, language, geography, etc. Students will earn three credit hours from the University of Puerto Rico in addition to the three credit hours from SUNY Fredonia.
