Scholars of Global Distinction
The Scholars of Global Distinction program is a partnership between community colleges in North Carolina and UNC World View. The program was developed to give you the global competencies and skills needed for our increasingly diverse workforce.
When you transfer to a four-year school or begin your career, the notation “Graduated with Global Distinction” on your transcript or resume will set you apart from others by showing that you have a more comprehensive understanding of global cultural, political and historical information.
