- [00:00:04.440]This master's program is the first
- [00:00:07.850]of its kind in the world, actually,
- [00:00:10.000]that brings together three universities
- [00:00:12.660]to study family studies from a global
- [00:00:15.730]and international perspective.
- [00:00:17.660]It's a very unique, totally internet-based, online program
- [00:00:25.170]for people who want to add to their expertise
- [00:00:29.800]in working with people, especially working with families.
- [00:00:34.000]This is a unique collaboration, partnership,
- [00:00:37.910]between three universities around the world.
- [00:00:39.980]The University of Nebraska Lincoln,
- [00:00:41.640]the Tata Institute for Social Sciences in Dubai, India,
- [00:00:45.300]and the University of New Castle in New Castle, Australia.
- [00:00:48.750]We have students from...
- [00:00:52.660]Seven different parts of the world
- [00:00:54.700]studying families and studying
- [00:00:59.420]cultural diversity in families,
- [00:01:02.240]studying how families matter,
- [00:01:05.430]and also studying about their own families.
- [00:01:09.800]Students from different parts of the world
- [00:01:13.100]and the different institutions
- [00:01:15.349]can take classes from another professor
- [00:01:20.520]in a different institution, and also
- [00:01:24.140]students are in the same class
- [00:01:26.470]with students from other parts of the world.
- [00:01:30.660]You know, students who are in
- [00:01:33.110]as diverse professions as health,
- [00:01:36.400]education, working with children, law,
- [00:01:40.710]all these professionals will benefit from this course.
- [00:01:45.800]Somebody who's got an international perspective,
- [00:01:49.710]they're gonna have a broad base of knowledge
- [00:01:52.560]and they're going to know what to do
- [00:01:54.750]when they meet diversity, they're going
- [00:01:56.900]to enjoy diversity, and celebrate it.

- [00:02:04.587]And they're going to have an edge
- [00:02:07.240]over somebody who's had a more narrow experience.
- [00:02:11.520]Not only does it offer this program
- [00:02:14.430]but lots of exciting opportunities
- [00:02:16.220]for student exchange and also collaborative research.
- [00:02:19.790]It gives you an exposure to what is happening
- [00:02:23.300]elsewhere in other societies,
- [00:02:25.480]other countries, and it is transforming.
