Note: you will be asked to respond to the following COLL300 prompt:
Applicable for all programs teaching undergraduate students:
All W&M programs teaching undergraduate students are expected to meet COLL 300 requirements. Course content will not be the only or the main consideration when evaluating the COLL 300 designation; other aspects of programs such as activities and excursions will also be considered. Academic experiences include the course, assignments, course-related excursions, guest speakers or local faculty, engagement with members of the local community, and co-curricular cultural activities connected to the objectives of COLL 300.

The approved language for COLL 300 is as follows:
--
"COLL 300 courses explore the diverse perspectives and socio-cultural values of people and communities of countries outside the geographical boundaries of the United States, and/or within the geographical boundaries of the United States for the study of sovereign Native nations, indigenous communities, and five US territories or sub-national entities.

COLL 300 directly connects students with people, places, and ideas that enhance their comprehension of different ways of thinking and being in the world. Students synthesize their knowledge, their emerging expertise in framing questions for analysis, and their communication skills to engage global issues in a self-reflective, cross-cultural way.

Students will be able to:
1. demonstrate an understanding of how people across cultures and societies experience the world
2. make connections between those perspectives and course content
3. analyze how cultural and societal differences manifest globally
4. reflect on their own identity as global citizens COLL 300"
