The goal of courses in this theme is to help students analyze concepts of citizenship, justice, and diversity at a more advanced and in-depth level than in the Foundations component. More specifically:

• Successful students will integrate approaches to understanding citizenship for a diverse and just world by making connections to out-of-classroom experiences with academic knowledge or across disciplines and/or to work they have done in previous classes and that they anticipate doing in the future.
• Successful students will explore and analyze a range of perspectives on local, national, or global citizenship and apply the knowledge, skills and dispositions that constitute citizenship.
• Successful students will examine notions of justice amid difference and analyze and critique how these interact with historically and socially constructed ideas of citizenship and membership within society, both within the United States and around the world.
