- U.S.-Armenia Flash Mob Over two hundred alumni of U.S. Government-sponsored exchange programs joined U.S. Ambassador John Heffern and other Embassy staff in celebrating 20 years of exchange programs between our two countries in this (nearly spontaneous) flash mob. Centered on Yerevan's busy pedestrian Northern Avenue, the young and the young-at-heart joined together in dancing to the American rhythms of The Baseballs, Boyz II Men, and Gloria Gaynor. Together, everyone made October 7, 2012 a day to remember!

$1,650 plus air & GCC fees
Students must enroll in 2 credit units
Library 48: International Field Studies (2 units)
Instructor: Zohara Kaye
International Field Studies provides college credit for travel and study in foreign countries at the student’s own expense in programs provided by agencies approved in advance by the College and under the direction of a Glendale Community College instructor. This course may be offered in all disciplines. Note: Each repetition must be in a different country and/or area of the world. Transfer Credit: CSU.
About the class: With the exception of two meetings scheduled in the hotel conference hall, all instructional hours are spent in the field. As a student of Information Studies, your task will be to become a participant-observer through excursions and interactions with the locals. You will select a critical lens to apply to your observations, compare/contrast life in Armenia and U.S. (you become the primary source of this experience!), and learn how the dissemination of information, misinformation, and disinformation impacts society.
Our typical day will start after breakfast at the hotel. We will board the bus in front of the hotel for our daily excursions at 10am and typically be back by 3-5pm. In the evenings, you are free to do as you will, or join your peers/instructors on their adventures. In the evenings, we normally stroll the neighborhood, go out to dinner, opera, theater, jazz clubs, night clubs, or meet up at the local cafe to talk about our day.
