Perspectives are the ways humans view and interact with the world around them. Within the ICC, we're especially interested in the ways scholars and professionals across a variety of disciplines approach the big questions facing society. Courses offered through the four perspectives of the ICC give you a deeper understanding of issues and questions facing society. They teach you how different ways of thinking can connect to create innovative solutions to complex problems.
