BlockU is an intensive GenEd experience available for the first time to Online Students with the theme of Global Citizenship!
- Participate with others in a virtual self-exploration and study of tough issues facing our planet and its inhabitants.
- Explore and understand the footprint of your citizenship along with its rights and responsibilities, locally and globally.
- Satisfy your interest in having and managing global impact.
- Complete 6 General Education requirements plus affiliate classes (if you choose).
- Engage in and learn some of the most cutting-edge online community-building programs.
GCO is for you if you are just starting college and want a framework around your GenEds or if you are on your way out and in need of a final few GenEds to get you ready to be part of the global economy.
