Student Reviews

"The United States has a complex and challenging culture. Even though I speak English very well and have been in the United States a few times, this course made me see details that I had never imagined. Understanding the beliefs and principles of a country will undoubtedly boost my ability to enter the American labor market with greater confidence."

Isabele de Castro, Ph.D., Salvador, BA, Brazil

"The course is taught in a clear and objective language that shows us what we need to understand about the American Culture to be able to reach our goals, whether these goals are getting accepted into a university or getting a position at a company. This information makes for a much more solid application and increases the likelihood that we will be invited to the position we want."
