Abstract
This paper explores the importance of and potential effectiveness of students at a four-year college in Florida participating in an interdisciplinary literature and cultural anthropology study abroad program in New Zealand. The goal of the immersion program is to broaden students’ worldview to one that recognizes and respects differences in cultural traditions and perspectives. As a result of participation, along with their earning their academic degree, participants “earn a degree” in “global citizenship” in which students develop an appreciation for ethical responsibilities to internationally underrepresented groups through understanding and tolerance.
