Global Citizenship“. . . [T]hinking and acting as global
citizens [means] understanding the need for all peoples to seize
common opportunities and defend against shared threats . ..” Global Citizenship is an ideal liberal arts concentration in that it allows students to integrate the College's general education graduation requirements into a coherent program of study focused on one of the core elements of a traditional liberal arts education: preparation for a life of ethical civic life and leadership. Students typically fulfill these graduation requirements by selecting a diverse range of courses from an extensive menu of offerings. The result is less a general education program than a collection of disparate courses that may or may not form a meaningful whole in the eyes of the student. The concentration in Global Citizenship provides an alternative framework for approaching the College's graduation requirements by allowing students to thread together the distribution, domestic diversity, internationalism, writing and quantitative literacy requirements into a multidisciplinary yet coherent program that purposefully addresses the "big questions" related to civic life, engagement and leadership at the local, national and international levels.
