ECT_LNGSTM - Using Second Language Skills in a STEM Context - Experiential Certificate

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.

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’s 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 – the key is that the experience require the student’s language experience and their STEM background.
