What Does It Mean to Have a Global Perspective?

A Declaration of Interdependence

A globally competent person can work effectively in international settings; is aware of and adaptable to diverse cultures, perceptions, and approaches; is familiar with the major currents of global change and the issues they raise; and is capable of communicating effectively across cultural and linguistic boundaries. (Brustein, n.d.) A Globally Competent Student

Strengthen liberal education. Enhance the quality of teaching and research. Prepare students for careers. Contribute to local economic development and competitiveness. Enhance students’ ability to live in an increasingly multicultural environment in the U.S. Enhance the development, excellence, and relevance of institutions of higher education in other countries. Contribute to international and intercultural understanding. Produce experts required to support U.S. foreign policy and diplomacy. Create goodwill and support for the U.S. and other countries. Why Internationalize? (Green & Olsen, 2003)

International education is a comprehensive approach to the students’ academic plan that intentionally prepares them to be active and engaged participants in a multicultural, interconnected world through internationalization of the curriculum (Green & Olsen, 2003). Internationalization is the process of integrating an international, intercultural, or global dimension into the purpose, functions, or delivery of postsecondary education (Knight, 2003).
