Dominican Republic
In the Dominican Republic, undergraduate students are working and learning throughout many cities including Santiago and Santa Domingo. They are partnering with leading companies and worldwide organizations such as Notions Dominicana S.A. and Esperanza International. Undergraduate students can choose to participate in a Dialogues of Civilization program, a unique faculty-led academic program, which examines the principles of rural microfinance, village banking and the Grameen Bank model of solidarity, specific to rural "batey" communities of the Dominican Republic through a six-week intensive visit resulting in course credit.
