About the Minor

The Global Studies minor provides an interdisciplinary opportunity to explore a variety of international issues. Interested students should meet with their major advisers and with the Director of Global Studies. Participating students must declare their intent through the Registrar’s Office.

Requirements

(typically 18–20 credits as listed below)

The Global Studies minor consists of five courses totaling 18 to 20 credits. Courses for this minor may not include more than two at the 100 level. Students may count one course, but not more than one, toward both their major and the Global Studies minor.

1. Introduction to Global Studies (IS 101 )
2. One additional introductory-level course. (See major requirements above for a list of these courses.) 
3. Three Intermediate/Advanced-level courses. (See Global Studies, B.A.  core requirements above for a list of these courses.)

If students study abroad, they can substitute up to two appropriate courses taken abroad with prior approval of the Director of Global Studies. At least two of the courses taken for the minor at the intermediate and advanced level should come from the GS core and have an IS prefix.
