Global Learning Electives Criteria
GLALA
50% of a course’s content must satisfy at least one of the following 3 criteria. All 50% need not satisfy the same criterion.
Contact : courses that address movement, comparison, or connection of people, information, commodities, ideas, identities, or culture (e.g., arts, religion, language, technology, etc.) across or transcending national borders.
Power : courses that address how structures or institutions exercise power, or are resisted, in ways that cross, span or transcend national borders.
Systems : courses that address social, biological, physical, conceptual, or ecological systems that cross, span or transcend national borders.
Area Studies Courses: Area studies courses that count for the Global Elective are those that include in-depth examination of some aspect of a particular country or region (for example: history, music, literature, art, culture, religion, geography, etc.).
Foreign language course above the intermediate level: The intermediate level of a foreign language is Chinese 202; French 202;
German 202; Japanese 202; Latin 202; Spanish 202; Greek, two semesters at the 200-level; or other approved languages taken elsewhere.
Global practicum courses: Global practicum courses will provide students with opportunities to engage with local organizations that address global issues (as defined in GLALA criteria). Students will apply knowledge and theory from the course to complete a specific applied project to meet a need identified by the organization. At least 25% of the course meetings will be dedicated to the practicum project.
Students may request that senior capstone projects and mentored research count as global electives - or that study abroad, internships, and mentored research count as global experiences - by submitting an essay to the Summit Advisory Group that describes the experience and explains how it meets the relevant criteria.
