Global Citizenship Course

In this semester-long course, you will explore topics related to globalization, global issues, and global competency as you develop an understanding of individuals from diverse socio-economic, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds. As you consider your own perspectives and biases as a global citizen, you will improve your ability to communicate across cultures and build the intercultural relationships necessary to support global problem solving. You will explore topics such as intercultural communication, multiculturalism, gender inequality, human rights, and sustainability as you learn more about the world and how local, regional, and national issues connect to overarching global conversations. By investigating and engaging with global topics, you will develop knowledge regarding world issues and a deep understanding of social justice. Students who complete the course receive a Global Citizenship Certificate endorsed by the U.N. Charter institution, University for Peace.
