Education for Global Citizenship

The Education for Global Citizenship engages students to learn about our increasingly complex, interdependent, and volatile global society.

You take two upper-division courses offered in areas outside of your major field.  You can satisfy one of the requirements by submitting a portfolio based on a study abroad experience sponsored by the International Programs Office.
You'll develop an awareness of global relationships by:

• Exploring the interconnections of global environments, systems, and cultures;
  • Exploring responsibilities among individuals, local communities, and the global community.
• Critically analyzing and addressing global problems or topics using diverse cultural perspectives.
• Synthesizing knowledge from multiple areas to address specific global problems or topics.
• Demonstrating advanced skills in oral and written communications and critical thinking.

Courses that fulfill the Education for Global Citizenship requirement can be found two ways in the 2007-2008 Catalog of Courses:

• The course has an "EGC" prefix
• The course carries an "EGC" attribute and can be identified through use of the WebOpus "Class Search" feature.

Oversight for the Education for Global Citizenship program is provided by the Dean of Enrollment Services and General Education in close collaboration with the General Education Council.
