Program Statement

The Global Studies major consists of an integrated group of courses reflecting the international aspects of various disciplines. It is designed to give students a broad base of understanding of globalization and the world community while at the same time providing them with the opportunity to specialize in an area of interest. A minor in Global Studies is also offered.

The Global Studies major consists of lower-division requirements (18-19 units) in Global Studies, Culture and Society, Geography, Economics, Political Science, and the Humanities, plus a foreign language requirement. The upper-division requirements include a methods course, a twentieth-century history course, and two GLST courses (a senior seminar and an international field experience). Students will complete the major with twelve to sixteen (12-16) units of international coursework with a particular emphasis.
