How are the ICN sites selected?
ICN sites are selected by the determination that there is a critical mass (a minimum of five students) in the area to make an ICN site feasible. The University of Northern Iowa wants to not only provide ICN sites within a convenient driving distance from the student’s home, but also to provide an instructional environment with field professors at the ICN site and enough students at the site to build an interactive learning community. UNI views education as an interactive process, not a spectator activity where one sits in a room for three hours by him/herself.
