The programme focus area
The programmes are distinguished by:
- A technical-based, experiential approach that redefines the classroom as students learn from academics, policymakers, and other professionals in the real-world settings of communities, workplaces, organizations, and natural environments.
- Genuine cultural immersion through cross discipline experience  and local assimilation that enables students to make connections that promote academic progress, personal growth, and intercultural understanding;
- Service learning that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.
