Introducing the MU Cares Intercultural Certificate

Intercultural skills are essential qualifications in any international career. Increasing your cultural intelligence, improving your communication skills, and deepening your awareness of the diversity in the world will enable you to establish mutually respectful and mutually beneficial relationships in both personal and professional environments.

At MU, we offer students many opportunities to build upon their existing set of skills and acquire new ones. As members of a growing international community of students and friends, we are contributing to the rise of a global culture that values intercultural education and experience very highly. It is our goal to create ambassadors of responsible living who will lead with a strong sense of social responsibility and cultural sensitivity in an increasingly diversified world where connecting and engaging with those that are different than us is of critical importance. This goal is reflected in the MU core values which are composed of:

1)      stewardship and responsibility,

2)      knowledge, creativity, and innovation,

3)      personal integrity and mutual respect.

MU Cares was initially introduced to help students incorporate MU values into their lives as students and citizens of the world. It is a wide-ranging concept that promotes student engagement and responsible living in keeping with the MU core values, particularly those of stewardship and responsibility.

The MU Cares Intercultural Certificate is specifically designed to encourage students to participate in shaping their community and honing their professional aptitude by recognizing their extracurricular efforts and achievements in light of the MU core values. The MU Cares Intercultural Certificates gives students the ability to earn one single, comprehensive certificate that attests to their collected experience in intercultural communication, education, and service which they can include in their resumes and CVs.

Students who demonstrate an outstanding commitment to the acquisition and practice of intercultural skills during the course of their studies at MU are encouraged to apply for the MU Cares Intercultural Certificate.
