\"ucla\"<\/p>\n

A class for au pairs who want to master a university level class and take home a certificate from a major U.S. university.<\/p>\n

Registration is now open for \u201cAmerican Studies,\u201d<\/strong> offered online through the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Your host family pays the tuition of $500. You receive a reading assignment each week, and you have one or two assignments to do online. Some assignments will test your creative thinking. Some assignments will send you to the internet to do some independent research.<\/p>\n

Note that a Global Awareness presentation, volunteer work in the community, and participating in local events are all part of this class (and you will earn 6 credits by completing both the online and community requirements). Ambitious? Yes \u2013 most definitely.<\/p>\n

If you are curious about the events that have shaped culture and history in the U.S., if you would like a taste of the part women have played in U.S. history, if you want to get involved in the community where you live, if you are mentally adventurous \u2013 this is the class for you!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Read more about the class HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Winter 2015 course dates are January 5, 2015 \u2013 May 11, 2014<\/p>\n
