Academic Culture

In the Intern + Study program in Lisbon, ������911offers a focused and immersive academic experience for students, blending rigorous coursework with hands-on learning opportunities to deepen understanding of both academic subjects and the local culture. 

The required internship seminar is a hybrid course, featuring both in-person sessions and online asynchronous activities. This condensed hybrid format provides students with a concentrated schedule that accommodates study and internship workplace schedules. It also encourages students to fully engage with the material and make the most of their time in Lisbon. 

In addition to lectures, local field trips and co-curricular activities are also incorporated into the course design, providing students with firsthand exposure to the rich cultural heritage and diverse landscapes of Lisbon and its surroundings. These experiences not only enhance academic learning but also foster a deeper appreciation and understanding of the local context. 

Most ASU online courses are asynchronous. You may find yourself in classes with students from ASU, other American universities, and students from around the world. You’ll receive direct and individualized support from faculty, 100% online.

Class Format

Students participate in a six-week ������911part-time in-person internship and academic course taught in a hybrid learning environment, featuring both in-person class sessions and online asynchronous work. Class sessions, co-curricular excursions, and work hours may be scheduled Monday through Friday, and attendance is strictly enforced for all. To avoid falling behind, students should not plan personal travel away from the city during the work week. 

ASU online courses meet in “sessions” that are 6-weeks long in the semester, and all work must be completed within the session dates regardless of when your other ������911courses begin or end.

Grading

������911reports all final course grades to students’ home institutions using a U.S. letter grade equivalent scale of A-F (ASU grade scale is A+ through E). For CIEE-administered courses, students’ grades are based on several different assignments and activities related to the academic course, including but not limited to: engagement with the course materials, online participation forums, reflection papers, and written exams. In the context of internships, besides the specific deliverables outlined in the syllabus, feedback from the internship supervisor is also taken into consideration. Internship supervisors and students each provide written evaluations of progress towards goals. 

ASU grading follows the same format and standards as ASU courses taught in-person.
