Global Curriculum

Students that wish to have a global focus to their academic discipline have many areas from which to choose. While the Elon Core Curriculum interweaves global awareness throughout a student's Elon experience, the departments and programs below focus on preparation for global citizenship.

Global Campus

Elon’s campus, inside and outside the classroom, provides a wide range of opportunities to develop intercultural agility and the critical skill to look through multiple lenses at a given issue or problem. Below are programs, offices, and initiatives that are an important part of Elon’s role in developing global citizens.

International Community

Elon welcomes to its campus students, faculty, scholars, and staff from around the world. These classmates and colleagues add to the global fabric of the Elon community, provide different perspectives, and build lasting relationships.

Global Opportunities for Faculty and Staff

One way that Elon creates such a vibrant global campus is by offering faculty and staff opportunities for professional development related to global engagement. By enhancing their own global teaching, scholarship, service, and professional skills, faculty and staff can better prepare students for an increasingly interdependent world.
