Florida International University
AC-2: 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.

One example of the Global Learning signature courses is Global Supply Chains, a core class that explores the ethical, environmental, and social repercussions of international business. Co-taught by a cultural geographer, engineer, and business faculty member, students in this course participate in a semester-long supply chain simulation.
