Education Abroad and the French department within School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures introduce a new study abroad program in southern France, building on 35 years of Maryland’s legacy in Nice.

The Department of State (DOS) requires institutions like the University of Maryland to report significant incidents involving J-1 or J-2 exchange visitors.  DOS has indicated that any incident that impacts the health, safety, or welfare of J-1 visa holders or that could bring the DOS exchange visitor program notoriety or disrepute is reportable to the DOS. Examples include serious medical issues, hospitalization, natural disasters, allegations of sexual harassment or misconduct. Upon learning of a reportable incident, ISSS is required to report it to DOS within one day.

This is an immersive, project-based course that focuses on virtual collaboration with peers at partner institutions abroad.

This course focuses on issues related to critical literacy, digital technology, and literacy instruction, including the impact of media and various technologies on teachers and students.
