IE 200 Global Studies [CRN 74129]

Overview of Course

This course offers participants the opportunity to engage in experiential global learning from multiple perspectives. It engages them in the comparative study of complex global systems (e.g., institutions, cultures, environmental systems) and global challenges as a basis for intercultural encounters, reflective inquiry, and global citizenship. Through experiential, project-based, and field-based learning across the Semester at Sea voyage, course participants develop the analytical, collaborative, and reflective capacities needed to engage complexity and contribute responsibly as people who share an interconnected world. By the end of this course, course participants will have had the opportunity to develop and/or nurture their own global self-awareness needed to become productive change makers both as individuals and/or in collaboration with others.
