Students build four core competencies through interrelated coursework, hands-on experience, and professional development activities: • Training and Experience in a Work Sector: Education, Health, the Environment, Community and Business Development, Youth Development, and Agriculture • Foreign Language Skills • Intercultural Competence and Global Citizenship • Professional and Leadership Development
The Global Citizens Project Undergraduate students have the opportunity to participate in USF’s Global Citizens (GCP) Project, refine their global competencies while at USF, and potentially earn the GCP Award, a scholarship for study abroad, and the Peace Corps Prep Certificate.
