Online course connects Emory undergraduates in global internships - April Hunt, Emory

Global Internships, which grew out of a hybrid structure of online and study abroad program development, is ideal for online learning, says Dana Tottenham, who directs the program. The signature program — which plans to double to 10 cities next year from its current offering in Boston, Dublin, Hong Kong, Singapore and Toronto — demonstrates how a liberal arts education can translate into the workplace. The linguistics course is ideal for the experience, but given demand for repeat internships, Tottenham says a second online course may be developed to create deeper connections with Emory’s liberal arts curriculum. http://www.news.emory.edu/stories/2017/08/er_online_courses/campus.html
