<p>Comparative Cultures in the College of Computer & Information Science</p>
<p>Every student in the College of Computer & Information Science must satisfy the NU Core Comparative Cultures
requirement. If this requirement is satisfied by taking a course, then the course must be taken from the portion of
the NU Core Master List devoted to Comparative Cultures. To keep this list up-to-date, it is maintained online
rather than in printed form. See:</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.neu.edu/registrar/nucorelist.html”>http://www.neu.edu/registrar/nucorelist.html</a> </p>
<p>In CCIS, there are also options to satisfy Comparative Cultures by an activity other than taking a course. Here are
some examples.</p>
<p>Option 1: Extended living abroad. A student who has lived in a country other than the United States and Canada
for a period of at least two years and who was at least 10 years old at the time of residence will
automatically satisfy the Comparative Cultures requirement.</p>
<p>Option 2: Extended travel, work, or study abroad. A student may satisfy the Comparative Cultures requirement by
successful participation in an international coop assignment or study abroad program for a period of
six months in a country other than Canada. This activity should have a component that fosters
learning about the culture of the country in which the activity is taking place.</p>
<p>Option 3: Community service. A student may satisfy the Comparative Cultures requirement by completing 100
hours of appropriate community service. The student must file a petition describing the proposed
service and explain why this service will contribute to an understanding of another culture. This
petition must be approved by the Undergraduate Committee before the work begins. Upon
completion of the service, the student must file a report describing the work done together with
independent verification that the work was in fact completed.</p>
<p>These options cover the most common alternatives for satisfying the Comparative Cultures requirement without
taking a course. However, the college is willing to consider for approval other proposals in the same spirit.</p>
<p>In all cases, appropriate documentation must be provided if a student seeks to satisfy the Comparative Cultures
requirement by an alternative mechanism.</p>
