Global Learning Outcomes
Working through the shared governance Curriculum Committee, the Office of International
Education has aligned the student learning outcomes for the World Cultures and Diversity
graduation requirement with its Global Learning Outcomes. There are six learning outcomes
intended to promote awareness of and respect for the uniqueness and plurality of the
identities of the groups and societies making up humankind.
Describe the interdependence and interconnectedness of world systems (e.g., financial,
technological, economic, political, religious, etc) and their components (e.g., nations,
ethnic groups, social classes, etc.).
Explain basic information about other cultures (e.g. their histories, values, politics,
economics, communication styles, values, beliefs, and/or practices).
Demonstrate an understanding of one or more aspects of the social, political, cultural,
economic, or historical context of at least one region of the world outside of the
United States.
Demonstrate competence in intercultural communication and/or sociolinguistic awareness
(e.g., acquiring basic local language skills, articulating differences in verbal/
non-verbal communication, adjusting one's speech to accommodate individuals from other
cultures).
Analyze Western and non-Western cultural traditions in a world context or from a comparative
perspective.
Evaluate issues of social justice and sustainable development (e.g. identify ethical,
political, economic, social and/or environmental global challenges and evaluate local
and broader consequences of individual and collective interventions).
All faculty-led study abroad programs must include at least two of these outcomes,
and most faculty professional development workshops and projects associated with the
Global Region of Focus are tied to these outcomes. Since the adoption of these Global
Learning Outcomes, OIE has conducted annual campus-wide assessment of transfer and
study abroad programs. Although the results are inconclusive, they suggest a correlation
between number of credit hours achieved at the college and competence in the areas
assessed. OIE is working with the Office of Outcomes Assessment to align assessment
of these outcomes with the campus-wide assessment of the Diverse Perspectives and
Cultures General Education outcome.
