Earning Academic Credit Through SIIC Workshops
All SIIC 3-day and 5-day workshops qualify for academic credit through a cooperative agreement between the Intercultural Communication Institute (ICI) and Portland State University (PSU). Participants in graduate or undergraduate programs are often able to use their SIIC workshops as elective credits toward their degrees. Others who are working for the SIIC Practitioner Certificate can take a 5-day workshop for credit to meet the certificate’s requirements.
Both graduate and undergraduate credits are available through Portland State University’s Graduate School of Education/Continuing Education. For 3-day sessions, a participant may earn 2 quarter credits (1.3 semester credits) and for 5-day sessions, a participant may earn 3 quarter credits (2 semester credits).
For information on academic credit requirements, see the syllabus on our website. To receive credit, students will be required to complete their written projects before November 1, 2012. PSU credits are issued during the Fall Quarter and grades are available in mid-December.
Please contact Chris Cartwright (503-297-4622, cartwrightc@intercultural.org) rather than Portland State University for additional information about the academic credit option.
Continuing Education Credits (CEC) or Units (CEU)
Many SIIC workshops qualify for the continuing education units required by various professional groups (counselors, teachers, attorneys, etc.). Please contact ICI for more information about this opportunity.
