The GSD Curriculum
Year 1 - Awareness
Year 1 focuses on building students’ awareness of several global components. Students at this level are exposed to a wide range of global cultures, issues, and careers in order to make them aware of the diverse traditions, experiences, skills, problems, and solutions that exist around the world. Year 1 students have the opportunity to hear informative presentations and to interact with experts in each of these areas, building their overall knowledge of a broad range of topics.
Year 2 - Skills Building
In Year 2, the program builds upon the awareness that students gain in Year 1. Students in Year 2 engage in similar courses that focus on global issues, cultures, and careers, Year 2 is about developing the skills needed to communicate across cultures, to be successful in a global career, and to find solutions to complex issues.
Year 3 - Action
The program culminates with a Take Action project in the students’ third and final year that is meant to demonstrate the abilities that they have cultivated over the course of the first two years. Students choose a globally-oriented issue about which they are passionate, and they pursue a leadership role in solving it at a local level.
