Why GSCP? • Value added to degree: the academic/cultural context • Certificate vs. Minor – providing global education for all
GSCP meeting the mission: • Missions past, present and future – hitting the moving target! • General Education – to cluster or not to cluster
Challenges of Content and Placement • Challenges/Opportunities of Content and Placement – Academic department vs. International Office
Challenges of Promoting the Program: • Faculty - meshing departmental requirements & GSCP requirements • Students (Timely Promotion - the know before you go factor) • Administrators (just who is going to pay for this!)
A FewLessons Learned • Faculty Level: Academic staff in the OIP – Faculty Coordinator? Academic Director? • Administrative Level: GSCP Enrollment application eliminated - graduation application only: is this too late? • Student Level: Clusters: Just when you learn the answers, they change the questions.
