Certificate in Global Studies (24 credits)

A Certificate in Global Studies may be earned simultaneously with a B.A. or B.S. degree, or post baccalaureate in any non-Intl major. The certificate offers students an opportunity to be recognized for their interest in and awareness of globalization and global studies in all of its aspects -- economic, cultural, political, environmental and social.

The Certificate in Global Studies consists of 24 credits of global studies or globalization-focused work. The 24 credits include two 4-credit Intl foundational courses and 16 credits of elective coursework.

Students completing an International and Global Studies major or minor are not eligible to receive a global studies certificate.
