Description: Comparative Education investigates origins, goals, organization, challenges, and accomplishments of various countries' school systems with intentional comparisons to American practices. The 'A' format is a survey course that considers examples from all over the world. The 'B' format focuses on a single country (plus the U.S. for comparative purposes) and includes overseas travel-study (e.g., to South Korea, South Africa, or Chile) and visits to schools in the visited countries.

This course could be taken more than once for additional credits assuming the student uses it for travel-study to different places. For example, a student could not visit South Korea twice with the same professor teaching the same syllabus, but could visit South Korea once (as one 3-hour course) and South Africa (as another 3-hour course).
