Enhance your Middle Eastern Studies degree by earning your Global Citizens Credential
The Global Citizens Credential (GCC) allows UH undergraduate students to demonstrate
mastery of core global competencies which can help ensure future success in an increasingly
competitive workforce and interconnected world. In order to receive the GCC, you will
need to earn a minimum of 10 points through participation in global courses, learning
abroad, language proficiency, global scholarly work, and/or intercultural activities.
By being a World Cultures & Literatures Major/Minor or an Arab Studies Minor, you
automatically qualify to earn 4 points towards your Global Citizens Credential since
these are approved global majors and minors. For more information about how to meet
the requirements, please visit https://www.uh.edu/provost/university/global/index#credential
Students who complete the GCC will receive a ‘Global Citizens Credential’ transcript
notation, a signed certificate and an honor cord. If you are interested in distinguishing
yourself as a ‘Global Citizen’, we would encourage you to visit the website to register!
