Area VII - Global, Multicultural, Gender (GMG)

Minimum 12 Quarter Hours

Does not increase total Liberal Education credits. See notes below.

"GMG" encourages students to investigate ways of living and thinking which differ from their own. The areas of study are "Global" (cultures beyond the United States), "Multicultural" (religious and ethnic cultures within the United States), and "Gender" (issues). Knowledge of these areas enhances our understanding of and respect for cultural differences.
