• Global Learning (GLB) Course Attribute

  Global learning is an essential part of a well-rounded education and is becoming exceedingly important in our globalized world and economy. To encourage the inclusion of global learning in all programs and disciplines, Weber State has many courses that have global learning as part of their learning outcomes.

  Global Learning is "a critical analysis of and an engagement with complex, interdependent global systems and legacies (such as natural, physical, social, cultural, economic, and political) and their implications for people's lives and the earth's sustainability."
