Global Heritage

While Western Heritage I and II cover the roots of European cultural traditions, Global Heritage courses explore cultures and civilizations with substantial non-European elements. All Carthage students are required to take one course (4 credits) that is designated Global Heritage (GH).

The Global Heritage requirement includes courses that seek to encounter and understand an alternate worldview. All Global Heritage courses not only seek to explore the culture or civilization being studied, but also to enable students to understand cultural difference whether while traveling abroad, or in our own increasingly plural nation.

The Global Heritage requirement can be completed by courses taken either on campus or through off-campus study. In either case, courses satisfying this requirement are approved by the Global Heritage Oversight Committee and are so designated in the course schedule.
