Global Studies Academic Subject Certificate (ASC-LBRT-GS)

Global Studies Academic Subject Certificate (ASC-LBRT-GS)

The interdisciplinary Global Studies Academic Subject Certificate is designed to integrate student learning across disciplines and programs and foster connections between disciplinary learning, world languages, and study abroad experiences. This certificate will provide students with the opportunity to gain awareness of and sensitivity to other cultures’ norms, practices and actions while at the same time recognizing the unique attributes of one’s own culture. It will teach them to speak and write in another language while recognizing and respecting the importance of language diversity (all languages) in global communication. It will also help them to recognize self as a part of global culture by demonstrating awareness of the interdependence of global systems: by understanding how the U.S. may be perceived world-wide; by solving problems with multiple perspectives and variables; and by making globally responsible decisions.
