4. Perspective: Local and Global Engagement
Courses, course sequences, and activities in this category engage with communities beyond the university classroom in such a way as to promote civic engagement or community service. They facilitate the development of civic or social responsibilities and the deeper understanding of communities in Cleveland, nationally, or around the world either through curricular or approved extracurricular participation.
By the end of these experiences, students will be able to interact as engaged citizens with civic or societal responsibilities with audiences outside the university.
Students may complete the Local and Global Engagement requirement either by earning a passing letter grade in an approved course or course sequence or by participation in an approved extracurricular activity. Transfer credit may not be used to satisfy this requirement unless approved by through an appeal process with the Faculty Senate Committee on Undergraduate Education.
