Courses
Given that it is possible to approach the study of civic life,
engagement and leadership from variety of (inter)disciplinary perspectives,
the program permits students to complete this concentration in conjunction
with any of the majors offered by the College. The concentration
also provides students with a pathway that allows them to complete
the College’s distribution and diversity requirements in a
thematically focused way.
Requirements
A concentration in Global Citizenship consists of the following
six courses:
Required Courses
- POLI 394 Paradigms of Global Citizenship;
- INTL 480 Paradigms of Global Leadership;
NB: Although this is not a strictly sequenced program
of study, students are strongly encouraged to complete Paradigms
of Global Citizenship before enrolling in Paradigms of Global Leadership.
Integrative Courses
- One American Studies course focused on issues of civic life,
engagement and leadership within the United States;
- One International Studies course focused on issues of civic
life, engagement and leadership beyond the United States;
- One “science and citizenship” course;
Supporting Course
- One “supporting” course offered by any academic
department (may also be fulfilled as part of a study away program)
In order to satisfy the requirements of the concentration,
a course must:
- purposefully explore/interrogate key concepts related to
civic life (on the local, national or international scales),
examples of which include “citizenship” (global,
environmental, etc.), “rights” (human, civil, political,
etc.), “justice” (social, racial, environmental,
etc); “democracy” (social, political, etc.), “freedom”,
“liberty”, “ethics” and “cosmopolitanism”;
and/or,
- cultivate in students an understanding of the scientific concepts
needed to address the major social, political and ethical challenges
confronting humanity today (including, but not limited to, public
health, biodiversity, energy, climate change, and genetic modification).
