The course aims at providing students of any discipline and majors with the professional skills required by today\u2019s culturally diverse working environment. The placement opportunity will help students think about their own skills, those they would need to acquire according to their professional plans, and whether their own professional paths are coherent with their goals. The ideal internship placement is a coordination between the skills and personality that an organization is seeking and those which a student presents. Each student should approach the program with cultural awareness and flexibility; this will enable the Internship Coordinator to identify suitable organizations at which the student may intern.   The Internship Coordinator supervises the internships, acts as liaison between students and the Work Supervisors, grades assessment items and makes sure that students get a successful experience.   The course consists of 15 contact hours of seminars and workshops plus 120 hours of supervised unpaid work placement. Alongside with the internship seminars and work placements, students are required to enroll in the hybrid course SOCI 360 &#8211; Italian Culture and Traditions (3 credits) to complement their preparation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<section id=\"art-history\" class=\"acf-block bg-white\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"block-academics-courses__title\">Art History<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8 col-xl-7 offset-xl-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion\" data-limit=\"3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"block-accordion__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tItalian Art: Selected Topics (Florence, Summer)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(1 credits)\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item-content DOM-slider-hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item-content-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size block-academics-courses__meta-item\">Course Code: AHST 210<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size block-academics-courses__meta-item\">Instruction Language: English<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size\">This course, taught during mandatory site visits, which include Rome and Siena or Venice, is a survey of Italian figurative art and architecture from c. 1200 to 1650.

From the early 1950s on, a sense of new beginning and the birth of what later would be known world-wide as the Italian Style, would characterize most spheres of productive and cultural life such as fashion, design, film and music. The coexistence of tradition and innovation has been a main feature in contemporary Italy; this course will focus on Italian cultural expressions like foodways, Italian cuisine and wine, and the impact of change in relation to new dynamics in family life and gender roles, in popular beliefs and superstition.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"credit-transcripts\" class=\"acf-block block-content-section block-content-section--reduced-spacing content-wrapper bg-white\">\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-academic-credit-amp-transcripts\">Academic Credit &amp; Transcripts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"page-block-5\" class=\"block-buttons justify-content-center\">\n\t\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aifsabroad.com\/policies\/\" class=\"c-btn c-btn-tertiary\" target=\"_self\" title=\"View All Policies\" aria-label=\"Button View All Policies\"><span>View All Policies<\/span><\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<section id=\"page-block-12\" class=\"acf-block block-cards bg-white\">\t<div class=\"container block-cards__card-grid\" style=\"--cardsPerRow: 3\">\n\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"block-card\">\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"block-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-credit-transfer\">Credit Transfer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a part of the AIFS Abroad application for semester programs, you will complete a Course Approval Form, which will be signed off by your study abroad office staff and\/or faculty at your university.<br><br>For J Term\/Summer programs, no such approval form is needed; however, students are still responsible for ensuring credit can be brought back from their overseas program.<br>In any case, we recommend getting additional courses approved in case you need to change courses while abroad.<br><br>Overseas universities do not use the credit system employed by American institutions.
