Global Studies, Minor - 19-37 units


This interdisciplinary minor will provide students in any major the opportunity to develop their knowledge of the world and the major contemporary issues confronting humanity. Students in this minor will receive a foundation in global studies and an introduction into the various implications of globalization. By choosing electives across discipline areas, students will gain an interdisciplinary perspective into various global issues.

 

Upper Division Requirements - 12 units


Twelve units required from a minimum of two discipline areas. Students must choose in which discipline area cross-listed courses will count. For example, BUS 448 /ECON 448 /SOC 448 Globalization and Development as either a Business and Economics discipline area course, or a Social Sciences discipline area course. Students must receive permission from the program advisor to substitute 490 courses (e.g., special topics) and courses taken during Study Abroad for electives listed below. A single UNIV 392 course may substitute for one elective course, provided it is not used to satisfy the Corequisite Study Abroad Requirement below.
