Global Journeys 2021 Courses Announced

August 28, 2020 /

The Center for Global Learning is excited to present the Global Journeys courses for Spring 2021! We know that many of you have been waiting eagerly for this moment, and so have we. As the COVID pandemic keeps impacting global travel, the Journeys faculty and our providers have worked hard to adapt the courses. Global learning is more important than ever, and we want to make sure that all of you receive the introduction into global learning that enables you to become the global leaders the world needs.

All Journeys courses feature a domestic U.S. destination that groups will visit if travel is possible and also a set of global site connections that faculty and students will engage with through interactive, virtual learning formats. This course design provides flexibility and mitigates the risks while also ensuring that all students will progress in their academic trajectory with a rich and meaningful global immersion experience.

With this strong foundation in global learning, all students will be ready to engage in subsidized faculty-led Global Study Tours and award-funded semester-long study abroad throughout their time at Agnes Scott and as soon as international travel will be feasible again.

See the map overview of Journeys courses below and click here for more detailed information. (Turn on the sidebar and you can turn on/off the different layers showing the Preliminary Global Immersion destinations and the Global Site Connections.)
