Mission Statement
The Center for
International Education at Georgia Perimeter College functions as a
centralized office to help coordinate and provide internationalizing
opportunities to students, faculty, and staff. The goal is to create a more
globally competent community of learners who 1) have an increased
understanding of the interconnectedness of peoples and systems, 2) a general
knowledge of history and world events, 3) an appreciation for different
languages and cultures. Georgia Perimeter College provides the foundation
for its members to live and work successfully in an increasingly diverse
society and interdependent world. In order to achieve this vision, the
college is committed to an ongoing and recursive international educational
and experiential process.
