International & Intercultural Communication Program | Student Handbook 2014-2015
Welcome to the IIC Program! We are very pleased to welcome you for the 2014-2015 academic
year to this unique interdisciplinary program that combines coursework in international &
intercultural communication with international studies.
This program is a student-based program that has evolved throughout the years in collabo-
ration with faculty, staff, students and administrators. We offer small courses and close con-
nections with faculty through advising and in your classes, and also with other IIC students
through our mentor program.
This handbook is designed to provide information about IIC policies and procedures, class
schedules, and contact information, but is best used in collaboration with your advisor and the
IIC director. Please read it carefully and also check it throughout your program because you
will need to create and update a program statement or course plan (see p. 21) and likewise to-
ward the end of the program, follow specific procedures for graduation (p. 26).
Good luck and we’re excited for the year ahead with a great group of new and continuing IIC
students!
Sincerely,
Margie
