Global Marker Courses Ever greater international interaction as a result of communication technology, travel, and media coverage requires successful individuals to be familiar with international issues. International education is thus part of the curriculum of Southern New Hampshire University. We expect every graduate of SNHU to gain an awareness of other cultures and the global environment, either by studying abroad, or by taking at least two courses with global markers. Global marker courses focus on such topics as: the inter-connectedness of different regions and cultures; specific characteristics of nonwestern regions and cultures; skills of particular use in international business and travel; and the history, politics and geography of the world.
