International Studies Minor
Global Studies (9 hours)
The Global Studies requirement introduces students to a range of contemporary global topics that impact all nations, such as: the transnational movement of peoples and their cultural practices, including economies and governance; the development of technology and communications across nations; the changing identities of peoples and nations as a result of cross-cultural influences and the resistance to those influences; and global governance that determines issues of international law and human rights, environmental changes, and political states.
International Studies minors take 9 hours of coursework in Global Studies, from three different disciplines: Anthropology, Economics, Geography, History, Political Science, and Sociology. Download the list of approved courses.
