SOLES Global Center

At the University of San Diego, the School of Leadership and Education Sciences' SOLES Global Center contributes to the education of graduate professionals who engage other cultures, are sensitive to commonalities and differences among and within cultures, understand multiple perspectives and the impact of global transformations, and are committed to positive change.

A thorough internationalization strategy serves to meet the above goals while increasing the students' knowledge in their own fields. This strategy includes the recruitment of students and faculty from around the world to support exchanges of ideas among international and domestic students and faculty on different cultures; global education programs ranging from short-term study, student teaching, exchange, and internships for students to experience the world first-hand; the internationalization of curriculum to bring the world to the classroom; and a full range of events including lectures, conferences, visiting scholars, and festivals to further integrate global perspectives into SOLES.
