What are my SIGC Options?

The Faculty has identified two overarching themes for its undergraduate curricula: Social Innovation (Out-of-Classroom Experience) and Global Citizenship (Beyond-Local Experience). Students are required, as a condition of graduation, to undertake internships and/or exchange study under these twin themes. We believe these high impact practices (Kuh 2008) are essential to student engagement and student success.
