ER-9: Sustainability Learning Outcomes

FIU is home to Global Learning for Global Citizenship. A program distinguished by its commitment to engage every undergraduate FIU student in the development of a global perspective rooted in innovation, respect, and the need for action. In order to graduate with a Bachelor's degree from FIU, students must take a minimum of two Global Learning (GL-designated) courses. Every undergraduate course and campus activity that is part of Global Learning for Global Citizenship empowers students to achieve the following learning outcomes: • Global Perspective: the ability to view the world from multiple perspectives • Global Awareness: knowledge of the interconnectedness of issues, trends, and systems • Global Engagement: willingness to address local, global, international, and intercultural issues Ultimately Global Learning for Global Citizenship is a promise to every FIU student: graduates of the University will be empowered with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to become informed and engaged citizens of the world.
