The primary purpose of the Residential Campus Program (RCP) and Study Tour is for students to learn about the endemic factors that shape each country’s unique history, society, and culture, in the past, present and future.
The RCP presents the theoretical aspects of learning about each country’s unique history and identity. Students will participate in lectures, readings, discussions, etc. led by local experts in order to build a foundation of theoretical understanding. Each city’s RCP will be designed according to learning themes specific to each country’s particular society and history. Conducting RCPs throughout each Global Rotation city and country helps students accumulate a comparative sociological and experiential perspective that builds and expands throughout their education at Taejae.
Throughout the semester, students will also engage in Study Tours, or fieldwork that builds off of the theories they learned in the RCP.
Study Tours will involve various real-world cultural and historical visits and experiences, allowing students to pursue the learning objectives that they find the most vital and interesting in each country. Students will form groups to design and propose their Study Tour schedules, choosing materially significant sites and locations to visit with planned itineraries, budgets, and learning objectives.
