The minor is comprised of a total of six courses.
Each minor will take the following two courses:
| GS 100 | Introduction to Global Studies | 3 |
| GS 212 | Cultural Geography | 3 |
Each minor will also take four additional courses from the four above areas of specialization. Electives can be completed in one area of specialization or across two. At least one course must be at the 300 level and only one of which can be at the 100 level.
Note: If a student is majoring or minoring in an adjacent field to the global studies core curriculum (including French, Spanish, political science, environmental studies or sociology) and also seeks to earn a double major in global studies, s/he may count overlapping core courses toward both majors. In political science, environmental studies and sociology, a maximum of one course will necessarily overlap (PS 225, ENV 105 or SOC 315). In French and Spanish, a maximum of two courses will necessarily overlap (FRN 205/SPN 205 and FRN 209/SPN 209). For example, if a Spanish major decides to double major in global studies, the two courses in language (SPN 205/ SPN 209) will count toward both majors.
Note: If a student is majoring or minoring in an adjacent field to the global studies areas of specialization (including French, Spanish, sociology, history, political science, English, philosophy and religion, fine arts and dance or women’s studies) and also seeks to earn a double major or minor in global studies, s/he may count a maximum of two overlapping courses from her/his other major or minor toward an area of specialization for the major or minor in global studies. For example, if a Spanish major decides to double major in global studies with a specialization in area studies: the Hispanic world, a maximum of two courses in the area of specialization can simultaneously count toward both major programs.
Note: Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the global studies major, students may count major coursework toward the College’s liberal studies requirements.
