摘　　要：Global awareness is an important topic in higher education＇s curricula to prepare students for the 21st century, to adequately respond to today＇s globalized world and develop world citizenship. To investigate college students＇ perceptions on global awareness, a survey on global-mindedness including skills and experiences related to global citizenship was given to 445 college students majoring in education, business, and engineering in two large cities of China. Results show that students majoring in education scored significantly higher than those in the other disciplines on the summarized dimensions, e.g., societal responsibility, skilled disposition, and tolerance of differences. All respondents reported that they had limited experiences in volunteer work, collaborative activities, and community services. Higher education curriculum development to prepare responsible world citizens is discussed regarding the current education system of China.
