Overview
With four centers and two programs around the world and a student body and faculty drawn from more than twice as many countries, Global College is uniquely international. Although actual enrollment varies from semester to semester due to visiting students, it hovers around 130. The Program is designed for students capable of assuming greater responsibility for their own lives and learning. The Program's worldwide facilities offer students the opportunity to live, study, and participate in three or more cultures while earning a B.A. degree; to design individual programs of study based on personal interests and goals; and to combine classroom study with field experience and internships. While acquiring a balanced liberal arts education, including the development of practical fluency in one or more foreign languages and an appreciation of the cultures of several world regions, students have the opportunity to carry out in-depth study and gain practical experience in their chosen field. In addition, they develop a deeper understanding of and a broader perspective on current world issues.
Freshmen spend the year in Costa Rica engaged in a combination of required and elective courses designed to allow guided pursuit of individual interests while, at the same time, ensuring a high degree of intellectual rigor and providing a sound foundation for experiences to come. Throughout the year, freshmen work closely with a faculty adviser to define their educational interests and goals and to identify ways of extending and deepening their understanding of various issues. The Costa Rica Center offers exceptional resources to students as they begin planning their sophomore and junior years in their "world university".
