Deeper Waters Curriculum & Academic Credit

Courage is the ability to cultivate a relationship with the unknown.
-David Whyte

Curriculum & Academic Credit:

The Deeper Waters curriculum is designed to support individual exploration and transformation in the context of the changing needs of our times.  Activities, readings and exercises develop each student's awareness on two parallel and intimately related journeys - Outer Action & Inner Reflection.

Deeper Waters students have the option to earn college credit through a simple and inexpensive process.  We have an arrangement with Seattle Central Community College (SCCC) that allows you to earn up to 15-quarter hours of credit for the Deeper Waters program.  SCCC is accredited through the Northwestern Association of Schools and Colleges.  Credit is earned for the Spanish language study and the internships.  The College offers a number of courses designed to allow students to earn academic credit for international study or work experience.   The courses donÂ’t require you to go to Seattle, and there is no physical classroom.  The course meets electronically by email, or by mail, phone or fax.  Reading, journaling and paper-writing  are an integral part of the curriculum.  There is a high degree of latitude for you in determining what you would like to study within each course – you can focus on the aspects of the region or culture that are of most interest to you, and both courses integrate well with the One Revolution experiential curriculum. 

Two possible courses include:

EDU 291: Using the World as a Classroom (5 or 10 credits)
Research outside the classroom is now a reality. Students will pick a travel destination, select a research topic, gather research data, and combine them all into a learning experience. This is a self-paced course designed to maximize learning and travel experiences.   

HUM 291: Language Enhancement through Experiential Activities (5 or 10 credits)
This course is for the undergraduate student who plans on taking advantage of language study opportunities outside the USA, living with a family for total language immersion, or attending a language school while at the same time studying the culture of the country. Students are expected to complete all course requirements upon their return to the United States.

The cost per credit for non-residents (of Washington):

5 credits $435.05
10 credits $871.00
15 credits $1,017.00
20 credits $1238.30
