Return to Department.  

Program Educational Goals:


Through participation in the Course of Study, World Scholars will be able to:

  1. identify and communicate effectively the value of their acquired intercultural skills and experiences;
  2. articulate insights into their own cultural rules and biases, and will demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of the complexities and norms of other cultures and the interconnectedness with their own;
  3. navigate and adapt to new situations and experiences with an advanced level of comfort, competence and flexibility;
  4. participate, as engaged and informed citizens, in cross-cultural dialogue, diplomacy and resolution of global issues, and develop relationships with and contribute to a global University community.

Program Requirements:


The World Scholars Program provides a framework for students in a variety of majors to benefit from an enriched academic career with built-in international and intercultural experiences.  World Scholars may pursue a number of majors and University Studies but are encouraged to select a globally-focused minor to complement their studies.  The four-year Program curriculum includes a limited number of academic requirements with courses, both on-campus and abroad, that complement and serve as graduation requirements. Scholars participate in three orientations in their first year, including summer pre-departure, on-site orientation once abroad, and UD New Student Orientation upon arrival to campus in the spring. Additional workshops and global engagement activities support the World Scholars Program outcomes.

Core:


Note:


*Students will register for UNIV 373  in the freshman fall term and junior term of their choice.

Other Requirements:


  • In their sophomore year, World Scholars are required to reside in the International House Living Learning Community (iHouse LLC).  
  • As the culminating capstone experience, World Scholars participate in the Spring Symposium, a celebratory event in which students receive a World Scholars certificate of recognition and share a self-designed project that demonstrates acquisition of a Program outcome.
