Shaping Global Thinkers and Purposeful Leaders
The Global School will place graduate-level students on a campus as big as the world itself. They will travel to six continents and visit 40+ countries. While abroad, these future world changers will learn to speak four new languages: French, Spanish, Mandarin, and Arabic. During each regional residency, they will engage experientially with these cultures by learning their histories, politics, sociologies, and religions within the context where these ideas reside, where they were germinated, and where the events occurred.
