Global Perspectives

Global Perspectives places academic specialization in a practical, real-world context, being a seminar-based opportunity to research and explore a range of issues challenging people across the globe. Developing critical/analytical, research, and problem-solving skills essential to higher education, students will learn to place their personal perspectives in a global context, finding new inspiration and challenges for their studies. Students will submit a presentation and an essay from their portfolio and sit an examination.
