Global Engagement
The Global Engagement Certificate is designed to provide students with powerful tools to understand the international dynamics of the past, present, and future world scenario, as well as allow students to be able to apply knowledge in the contemporary market.
This Certificate can enhance other programs by providing an additional area-study of specialization. Furthermore, it is designed to complement and combine with a wide range of existing majors. In order to focus on the study and dialogue between the global and the local realities, students will be able to take advantage of existing courses in areas such as Global Mediated Cultures, Gender and Multicultural Issues in the Global World, Migration and Diasporas, and American Studies in the Global Age, as well as cognates related to global themes.
