Students in the Using Second Language Skills in a STEM Context Experience certificate program will bring their foreign language skills to bear on the expansion of their work in a STEM field, thereby opening new avenues of STEM contributions for these students and a strengthening of their language skills. The goal of this certificate is to encourage students to use their skills in a second language in the context of their studies in STEM. Students will gain knowledge and skills through courses in a second language and a course in STEM and the certificate will culminate in a co-curricular experience in which students put their language skills to use in STEM. Examples of co-curricular experiences include a research experience that requires facility in a language, an internship that\u2019s part of a study away program, a STEM-related internship in Hartford, a STEM-related translation project, or a STEM-related Language Across the Curriculum course \u2013 the key is that the experience require the student\u2019s language experience and their STEM background.<\/p>\n
LACS Pre-requisite:
\nStudents must have completed a 202 or higher language course successfully (B+ or higher) or prove that they are familiar with the foreign language at that level before beginning experiential components.<\/p>\n
