Therefore, our curriculum includes many clinical experiences for students within the community setting. Such settings include nurse-managed centers, senior citizen centers, homes, mental health centers, local health departments, etc. Our students also have clinical experiences in local hospitals which afford many challenging clinical opportunities as well. A unique general education requirement at GC is international education. Most GC students opt for SST because it's a great opportunity for an international experience and it typically costs the same as a term on campus.

In fact, recent reports indicate that increasingly employers are most interested in graduates who also have a background in liberal arts education. A liberal arts background prepares a student to enter the workplace with good communication skills, decision making abilities and flexibility.
