General Education Program Global Citizen
Students complete a total of 12 units in three areas:
Global Study (6 units) Students choose six units from across the curriculum that allow them to explore the diversity inherent in our social and natural environments, including human diversity and world cultures. Through GE 7GC, our students are able to contextualize contemporary social and/or environmental topics, understanding their origins and effects in our increasingly globalized world. Study abroad, a travel course, or experiential learning pre-approved for this global study (i.e., 120 hours of documented work relating to the category) is strongly recommended and may be used to satisfy units in this portion of the GE. WebAdvisor GE code 7GC.
Citizenship, Community, Service (3 Units) Students select a learning experience that focuses on citizenship, community, or service; may be a course or experiential learning pre-approved for this cluster (e.g., service learning internship or 120 hours of documented service learning). Through GE 7CC, our students study, in a course or project setting, the theoretical and/or applied aspects of political, civic or social engagement in group affiliations. WebAdvisor GE code 7CC.
Language (3 Units) Students complete part of their general education program in a language other than English. This may be accomplished through completion of a third-level proficiency language course, a course taught in the language, or documented functional language use. WebAdvisor GE code 7LC.
