The Global Citizen Program (GCP) at SPC is designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of a competent global citizen who is ready to live and work in a diverse world. The GCP entails curricular, extracurricular, and capstone components that students complete alongside their degree program.<\/p>\n

Practically speaking, the Global Citizen Program helps prepare students to confront global problems and 21st-century challenges. Holistically, it is the blueprint to ensure St. Petersburg graduates are skilled women and men, prepared to take responsibility and apply what they know in any situation anywhere.<\/p>\n
