Rowan's Commitment to Global Security and International Studies: Integrating Health, Environment, and Emergency Response
More concretely, RU has committed to ensuring its students receive a global perspective by requiring all students to fulfill a Global Literacy requirement as part of its general education curriculum (called “Rowan Core”). As one of six literacies (the others being Artistic, Communicative, Humanistic, Scientific, and Quantitative), Global Literacy “requires knowledge of the diversity of world cultures and recognition of the interdependence of the contemporary world... [as well as the] extensive globalization of the world’s economies and societies.” This university-wide commitment is a recognition – by even the most structured programs at RU – that their graduates must gain an understanding of our interconnected world.
