Global Citizenship Certificate

Global Citizenhip is an interdisciplinary certificate program intended to assist students and members of the non- student community in understanding the interconnectedness of peoples, genders, cultures, and societies and celebrating the richness of human diversity in global context. Students will develop their own understanding of personal, social, and corporate responsibility to the global community. In a rapidly changing world, it is necessary for college students to acquire the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes to adapt and thrive in the enlarged and evolving global context.

Do you want to stand out in the job market? Employers are looking for well rounded individuals. For 17 units (half can come from GE units), this certificate will provide an edge over the competition.
