Global and International Studies
The minor in Global and International Studies is a 15-credit hour interdisciplinary minor housed within the School of Liberal Arts.
The requirements are as follows:
- Core course: I100 Introduction to International Studies (3 cr.)
- “Windows on the World” requirement from one of the following four courses:
- ANTH A104/A304 Introduction to Cultural Anthropology (3 cr.)
- GEOG G110 Introduction to Human Geography (3 cr.)
- HIST H109 Perspectives on the World Since 1800 (3 cr.)
- POLS Y219 Introduction to International Relations (3 cr.)
- Foreign language competency: completion of the second year of a modern foreign language (or the equivalent).
- Electives (9 cr.): any courses selected from the approved Global and International Studies global region and thematic concentrations course list as long as they come from at least two different departments. Students might wish to complete these 9 credits from one of the specific global region or thematic concentrations to facilitate transferring to the major later. Completing the courses from one global region or thematic concentration is not, however, required for the minor.
