Global Curriculum
The College of Health and Human Services offers curricular content related to international, intercultural, and global topics through undergraduate and graduate courses that encourage students to frame their educational development through different lenses of global perspectives. This is achieved through didactic, community, and international experiences. Placing human services and health as the central tenets of student development, the connection to the international community. This focus is paramount to empower our students to develop as culturally aware providers of services that are both directly and indirectly related to the populations with which they will interact. This value is reflected in our CHHS course offerings, diverse faculty experiences, and documented student outcomes.
The University offers Globally Network Learning experiences for students. You can find more information about GNL at https://global.charlotte.edu/faculty-resources/globally-networked-learning-gnl.
