ABSTRACT
Texas Christian University (TCU), a moderately sized, private university located in Fort Worth, Texas, conceptualised Discovering Global Citizenship (DGC) as a foundation for comprehensive internationalisation by infusing international and intercultural perspectives into existing curricular and co-curricular activities. Launched in the fall semester of 2013, DGC includes six initiatives and four student learning outcomes challenging students to rise to a higher level of global citizenship and to engage in the world both at home and abroad. Morais and Ogden connected intercultural competence to global citizenship with a detailed description of global citizenship, which includes three general categories: social responsibility, global competence, and global civic engagement. The DGC assessment team established a plan to collect data from multiple methods using both direct and indirect measures. Some DGC programmes lack meaningful assessment data to measure student learning or to inform programming improvements. The assessment team attributes the lack of meaningful assessment to the decentralised design.
