The Global Cultures Program

The Global Cultures Program is an interdisciplinary certificate program approved for credit in the College of Letters and Science beginning in the 1993-94 academic year. The program draws on the rich array of area studies courses and comparative studies courses offered at the UW-Madison, providing a framework for linkages between cross-cultural academic work and study abroad programs. The goals of the program are:

• Encourage greater participation in overseas study
  
  
• Better integrate campus course work with study abroad
  
  
• Stress cross-cultural learning experiences
  
  
• Help students find an "international pathway" through the College's breadth requirements.
  

Global Cultures is affiliated with the Division of International Studies and the Integrated Liberal Studies Program (ILS), which houses its foundation course, Introduction to Global Cultures.
