Globally Focused Coursework

The Undergraduate Certificate of Global Studies requires 12 hours of globally focused coursework at the 200 level or above and a minimum of 6 credits must be at the 300-level or above. Additionally, students must take courses in at least two disciplines, they must earn a C or better in each required certificate course, and no more than nine credits can be used to satisfy other requirements. “Globally focused coursework” is satisfied as follows:

1. Any course deemed as appropriate for the A&S International Studies major/minor.
2. Any course within the General Education category of Global Dynamics, at the 200+ level
3. Any courses taken abroad as part of the education abroad component
4. Other courses can be considered, by petition to the faculty Director, if they are deemed to meet the learning outcomes of the Global Dynamics or International Studies course categories.
