Abstract-Though the world is becoming increasingly globalized, has the education evolved to prepare youth to become world citizens with the necessary skills and competencies to meet these challenges? Altogether 301 students from the Psychology and Public Relations Departments involved in community-based projects were purposively surveyed using Civic Attitudes and Competence Skills questionnaire. Results showed that overall the mean scores of the Civic Attitude and Competence Skills are moderate. The results reveal no significant difference between the Psychology students and Public Relation students in the mean scores of Civic Attitudes and Competence Skills except for subscales Civic Action, Interpersonal & Problem-Solving Skills, Social Justice, and Diversity. The author concludes that it is important to enable youth to participate in developing a sense of self, appreciation of cultural diversity, social justice and building civic actions towards globalization awareness.
