Global Student Certificate
The GSC program is designed to increase participants’ knowledge of foreign countries and cultures, as well as develop a cross-cultural mindset that is sensitive to power differences in intercultural situations. In today’s global economy, this type of knowledge is crucial for employees to function in the global workplace.
GSC students will acquire practical intercultural business, communication, and leadership skills through briefings, story circles, and discussions of fine arts and personal reflection. Read more about the GSC at https://blogs.baruch.cuny.edu/globalstudentcertificate/
