Language & Cultural Exchange Program
Students from around the United States and the world have joined this free and popular program to promote intercultural dialogue and build confidence in speaking about culture or in learning a new language. In the Language & Cultural Exchange Program (LCEP), participants are paired up in one of two tracks—Language Exchange or Cultural Exchange—and provided with a wide range of resources to have engaging conversations on culture, language, and the UTA experience. Partners have the freedom to choose when and where they would like to meet each week, and also have access to special LCEP-exclusive events and programs to help build their network of Mavericks from all around the globe.
Global Mavericks
The Global Mavericks certificate program brings UTA’s diverse student body together to learn about culture, the world, and each other. Participants create their own journey by choosing experiences that fit with their academic major, schedule and interest. Regardless of your path, all participants will form relationships with students from around the world and develop intercultural competencies that will empower them to succeed in a globally diverse 21st century workforce.
