General Education World Society Course Requirement

One course in World Society is required of all undergraduates. Courses explore societies and cultures outside of the United States.

• Investigate globalization and its effects across nations and regions.
• Participate in an approved study abroad program to satisfy the World Society course requirement.
• Connecting GLOBALIZATION Across General Education Areas

Desired Outcome
Teach students how to:

• Understand the influences of a certain nation or region on world societies.
• Be aware of the processes (e.g. globalization) linking world societies.
• Develop observations and conclusions about themes in world societies and cultures.
• Construct interpretations using evidence and critical analysis.
• Communicate and defend interpretations.
