Internationalizing the Curriculum
Internationalizing the curriculum is about embedding global and intercultural perspectives into teaching and learning across programs. This can include course content, learning activities, assessments, and opportunities for students to engage with international partners, whether in person or online. The Centre for International Programs can help with various ways to internationalize how and what you teach.
