Global Studies (BA/BS)
Formerly known as international studies, global studies is an interdisciplinary major. What this means is that students can tailor majors to their own specific interests. Global studies provides an excellent general education for students interested in the complex interrelationships (political, economic, social, and cultural) of our interdependent modern world. The program offers students tools to make sense of a fast-changing global arena; it ensures the practical application of their research; and it immerses them in the language, history, and culture of a major world region.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Critical Thinking: Use analytical tools to examine global issues in the primary thematic areas of the department: international development, culture and globalization, gender and development, environmental sustainability, global health and well-being, and cross-cultural communication and understanding. Critically analyze the complex interrelationships that exist among first nations, nation states and between peoples, and civil society organizations and the environment throughout the interdependent modern world.
- Critical Thinking: Contrast methods of interdisciplinary social science research from qualitative ethnographic methods to quantitative survey instruments; use library databases to categorize relevant literature, appraise the strengths and weaknesses of academic arguments, use evidence to support arguments.
- Critical Thinking: Modify and apply a critical and well-grounded understanding of multiple worldviews and perspectives, experiences, power structures, and ethical and cultural positions in relation to contemporary global issues.
- Content Knowledge: Describe, explain and apply basic knowledge of the historic and contemporary role and effects of different actors in the global system (e.g., multilateral and bilateral organizations, development agencies, social movements, nation-states, civil society, business, and philanthropic and non-governmental organizations).
- Content Knowledge: Describe and discuss the history, culture, society, geography and political economy of a major world region, and its relations to global political economic processes.
- Content Knowledge: Describe, summarize and transfer basic knowledge of a professional concentration area onto a real-world career objective.
- Content Knowledge: Connect course content surrounding political systems, health, history, culture, economics, or education, to a set of intercultural experiences.
- Communication: Demonstrate receptive and productive proficiency in at least one language other than English.
- Communication: Convey complex information and ideas in written English that are clear, robust, carefully edited, well organized, and stylistically engaging and accessible.
- Communication: Interact with people from a diverse range of cultural, religious, ethnic, and national backgrounds in a way that is respectful and informed. Use knowledge and skills to develop and advocate for informed, appropriate action to solve complex problems in the human and natural worlds.
The first step for students planning to major in global studies is to declare the premajor. Students should make an appointment with a Global Connections Advisor to declare the premajor. Global studies premajors must first complete the requirements listed below before they can apply to the global studies major.
Students must maintain a grade point average of 3.00 (cumulative) or higher than 3.00 for three consecutive terms prior to the term of application.
Courses required for the premajor must be passed with a C– or better. Freshman seminars do not count toward this requirement. Students are strongly encouraged not to wait until their junior or senior year to apply. Premajor advising and help with the application process are available via appointments made with Global Connections Advisors in the Tykeson College & Career Advising unit. Applicants are required to meet with a Global Connections Advisor as part of the major application process. Applications are due on Monday of the fourth week of fall, winter, and spring terms.
In exceptional cases (and to accommodate transfer students), students entering the university may apply to become a global studies major without completing the required two terms. More information is available from the GLBL Director of Undergraduate Studies.

| 1 | Should be taken before global core foundation courses. Must be taken prior to applying to the major. |
| 2 | INTL/GLBL courses at the 300- and 400-level may be used to fulfill this requirement if it is not already being used toward completion of a student's Block B or C requirements. More information is available from an global studies advisor. |
| 3 | Students may design their own professional concentration area if none of the predefined areas fits the student’s professional goals. Students who choose this option must designate one of the core faculty members of the Department of Global Studies as an advisor and work with that individual in designing the concentration. |
| 4 | As many as 4 credits in a third-year language sequence may be used to fulfill the geographic focus requirement.

Additional Requirements
Courses must be passed with grades of C– or better to satisfy major requirements. In addition, three years’ proficiency in a second language is required (see below for details).
Courses applied to the major, with the exception of the language requirement and up to 8 credits in Field Studies: [Topic] (GLBL 406) or Terminal Project (GLBL 409), must be taken for letter grades.
A maximum of 12 credits in courses taken to fulfill the university group requirements may be applied toward the global studies major.
A maximum of 20 credits in courses taken in a single department other than global studies may be applied toward the global studies major, exclusive of the language requirement and the External Block B Professional Concentration option.
For the most current information about courses and requirements, visit the department website.
Language Requirement
To satisfy this requirement, students must achieve proficiency in a second language at a level associated with three years of study. Proficiency in the language may be demonstrated by passing three terms of a 300-level language sequence with grades of mid-C or better, by an examination, or by graduating from a high school in which English was not the medium of instruction.
A student may also fulfill the language requirement with two years’ proficiency in two different languages exclusive of the student’s native language. Students wishing to pursue this option must get approval from the director of undergraduate studies faculty.
Intercultural Experience
Majors must have a significant immersive intercultural experience to complete requirements for the major. One way that this can be satisfied is with at least one term (ten weeks) of study or work in another country that coincides with the student's geographic focus area. Contact the departmental advising office for information about other ways to satisfy this requirement. For information about study in another country, see Study Abroad in the Supplementary Academic Programming section of this catalog. Advice is available from the Office of International Affairs, 330 Oregon Hall. Domestic (US-based) cultural experiences and internships must be preapproved by the advising team.

Block C: Geographic Focus Areas
Choose 1 of the following 7 Geographic Focus options. Earn 16 credits total:
A) 1 required GLBL course (4 credits)
B) 2 or 3 electives (12 credits)
C) All credits must be upper division.
As many as 4 credits in a third-year language sequence may be used to fulfill the geographic focus requirement. Appropriate courses should have significant course content on the region of study. Areas of focus may include Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East, North America, South and Central Asia, and East and Southeast Asia. A North American geographic focus is only open to international students.
Students may submit a substitution request to use one term (4.00 or 5.00 credits) of introductory (100 or 200-level) language for their geographic focus requirement, and, as long as it is confirmed as different from the language the student is using for their 3-year language requirement for the major, the substitution will be approved. Students seeking this exceptional substitution should discuss the matter with Global Connections Advisors in the Tykeson College & Career Advising unit.

Four-Year Degree Plan
The degree plan shown is only a sample of how students may complete their degrees in four years. There are alternative ways. Students should consult their advisor to determine the best path for them.
Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies
Below is an example of how to complete a BA in global studies with a diplomacy and international relations professional concentration and a Middle East geographic focus. Since the major offers 16 options for professional concentration areas and seven different geographic focus regions, with a wide variety of courses that can count toward each concentration, there are innumerable paths through the global studies major.
This degree plan is for general planning purposes only and, due to the interdisciplinary nature of the major, it is imperative that students speak with advisors to determine which courses would best match their personal, professional, and academic goals.
