The Global Competencies Project
Guided by the Office of International Education of the University System of Georgia, the Global Competencies Project promotes the discussion, examination, and understanding of what it means to be a globally educated citizen in the 21st century. The Project seeks to identify a range of global learning outcomes, to consider how students can best acquire these competencies, and to support strategies for integrating these competencies into the undergraduate curriculum.
