Global Leadership, Certificate of Achievement (C)
The Global Leadership Certificate is composed of required courses in global studies and communication and a wide array of transferable social sciences and arts/humanities elective courses. Students are prepared to continue their academic studies in a variety of fields, not limited to global studies and communication, such as history, political science, economics, business, sociology and environmental studies. The program will also prepare students for employment in one of the many occupational fields affected by globalization and changing communication. More specifically, it will prepare students for positions in the public and private sectors, ranging from education, government, journalism and media, to non-governmental organizations, of which the Santa Barbara community has many. The Global Leadership Certificate supports Santa Barbara City College’s core principles of promoting global responsibility as articulated in the SBCC mission statement.
