Cultural Conversation: Understanding US Academic Culture

The expectations and “norms” of the educational system you grew up in might be quite different than what you’ll find in the U.S. In this Cultural Conversation, we’ll discuss how culture impacts our beliefs, behaviors, and interactions in an academic setting. We’ll take a closer look at U.S. academic culture and share tips and strategies to help you on your way to academic success!

Cultural Conversations are part of the Beyond Global Spartan Welcome series hosted by International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS). BGSW aims to help new international students transition to SJSU and life in the U.S
