PCC ID: 24057
Name: PCC Proposal to Establish a Bachelor of Arts in Global Cultures
Proposed: 02/28/2025
Sponsor: School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures
Proposal: The new interdisciplinary BA program in Global Cultures builds on the research and teaching strengths of the School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, while creating a more flexible curriculum targeted to the interests and goals of our current and future undergraduate students. Combining a strong focus on race, equity, and justice with an emphasis on cultural theory, the new BA promotes multilingual study of the cultures of the globalized world, across and beyond the borders of traditional nation-states and regions, through classroom and experiential learning opportunities. As such, this new BA program reimagines learning for the 21st Century, one of the University of Maryland’s key strategic goals.
