Global Studies Minor
The Global Studies Minor provides an interdisciplinary study of a global theme with the requirement of advanced language training to promote the development of intercultural skills. In consultation with an advisor, students select 21 hours of thematically-related courses from a variety of departments to form a coherent program of study suited to individual interests, educational and/or career aspirations. The Global Studies Minor can complement any major.
A total of 21 hours, with a minimum of 6 advanced hours, is required for the Global Studies minor. Minors are strongly encouraged to take GLBL 100 prior to pursuing the minor to gain an understanding of the field. Students must meet with an advisor to submit a Minor Plan of Study.
