The new courses will be taught collaboratively by faculty from different disciplines. In AY 2026, 15 classes will be offered in English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese and Ainu/Japanese.
The diverse faculty members come from different academic backgrounds to help students think about global issues from a variety of perspectives. Graduate student tutors assist students inside and outside of class to help facilitate the mutual sharing of ideas.
Let’s transcend existing borders and create a stimulating place for learning together.
