learning outcomes (cut and paste into syllabus):
This course fulfills the College of Arts and Sciences Core requirement for Global
Citizenship.
The Global Citizenship requirement is designed to educate students about global
and transnational problems and to provide students with the tools to address issues
of social justice beyond the United States. In our interconnected world, the actions
and decisions made by one government or group have a direct impact on people in
other areas of the world. As global citizens and public intellectuals, our students
must have the knowledge and tools required to make decisions with far-reaching
impact. Students who complete the Global Citizenship requirement will gain a
substantial subset of the following capabilities:
1. Identify sources of and strategies to address conflict, cooperation or
competition in a global or regional context.
2. Investigate how people and nations confront inequality and claim a just place,
whether in their own societies or in the world.
3. Identify how perceptions of “otherness” impact leaders, communities, and
community-building in areas beyond the U.S. through the examination of such
factors as race, ethnicity, gender, religion, economic class, age, physical and
mental capability, and sexual orientation.
4. Understand the impact of their lives and choices on global and international
issues.
5. Understand how their values are related to those of other people in the world.
When filling out this form, please be as specific as possible in your answers, giving
concrete examples of course topics, readings, assignments, exam questions, writing

prompts, classroom activities, and other elements of the course that fulfill the objectives
and student outcomes of the Global Citizenship requirement.
Courses must be approved by the CAS Undergraduate Curriculum Committee before
they can be submitted to the Core Curriculum Committee.
This approval form is only for submission to the Global Citizenship requirement. The
Cultural Diversity in the U.S. requirement also has a unique form; for the Cultural
Diversity in the U.S. form, please consult
http://www.slu.edu/diversity/academics/diversity-core-curriculum. All other Core
approvals use the general Core Curriculum Course Approval Form.
A course cannot be approved for both the Cultural Diversity in the U.S. and Global
Citizenship Core requirements.
A course approved to fulfill a CAS Core requirement will do so effective the semester
following its approval; in general, courses do not fulfill Core requirements retroactively.
