Abstract | In an effort to increase students' global awareness, New Jersey's Raritan Valley Community College (RVCC) has developed a number of courses and programs designed to infuse an international and intercultural perspective into the curriculum. Among the on-going projects of the college are: (1) the integration of a basic composition and an Introduction to Sociology course, using an international perspective to provide common content; (2) an international lecture series offered by on- and off-campus experts in the arts, humanities, and social sciences; (3) faculty exchange; (4) study abroad in the summer and semestral breaks; (5) non-credit mini-courses in international business and foreign languages; (6) holocaust studies with a global perspective; and (7) a six-unit course integrating Western Civilization and writing instruction. The RVCC experience in international education has evolved out of the perceived needs of the college community and the interests and expertise of faculty and administrators. Through involvement in the New Jersey Collegiate Consortium for International/Intercultural Education and the efforts of a full-time program coordinator, international education seems destined for expansion at the college.
