Perspectives on Global Issues

Perspectives on Global Issues is an issue-focused course that requires students to consider various viewpoints, analyze historical and/or modern issues, and reflect on what it means to be an informed citizen in an increasingly diverse society. The goal is to help students value different positions, appreciate a global perspective of the world, and think in-depth about social, cultural, historical, scientific, and/or ethical issues. This course varies based on the issue, but each course examines multiple viewpoints in order to develop a broad understanding of the subject.
