Global Society (GLS):
These courses help students understand and affirm their membership in a diverse yet interdependent multicultural global society. Emphasis is placed, through careful selection of course content and, in some cases, through appropriate travel-study experiences, on primary encounters with cultures other than the students' own.
Foreign Language: New students with less than one year of a foreign language in high school or college are required to meet the Global Society category by completing a two course sequence in the Department of Foreign Language. New students who graduated from high school more than eight years ago are exempt from the requirement to meet the Global Society requirement through foreign language.Students who complete any foreign language course at Elmhurst College 102 level or above fulfill the Global Society requirement.
