The Global Issues undergraduate certificate examines a range of global issues through the framework of sustainable development, an approach to public policy-making that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Sustainable development policies seek to address the world’s most pressing "wicked problems" through cooperative action as a global community. Examples include poverty, hunger, inequality, access to education, health and well-being, climate change and sustainable communities. The certificate is an excellent complement to any major and enables students to more fully understand how their major field of study can have a positive impact on the world around them.
