 Global
Studies Minor
18 Hours
The global studies minor at
Christian Brothers University is designed to complement the student's
major. We believe global studies are most effective when students combine
them with the expertise developed by specializing and majoring in a
discipline or professional program. The courses constituting this minor
have been carefully selected to provide international understanding
through interdisciplinary course work designed to strengthen their major
and promote success in achieving career goals.
Objectives
The program objectives are to prepare students for participation in
the emerging global economy and culture through:
- A course of study that introduces them
to a variety of international issues and concerns in selected courses
which address world art, music, literature, politics, economy, religion,
history, environment, geography, anthropology, and foreign language.
- Demonstration of second year proficiency
in a foreign language.
- Participation in a University approved
international travel and study experience. Students are strongly advised
to incorporate a global perspective in their major discipline capstone
project and may work with global studies minor faculty to assist them.
Requirements
- The Foundations of Global Studies course
(3 credit hours, 200-level).
- Five courses (15 credit hours) from the
list below. These courses must be chosen from at least three different
departments. In addition, at least two of these courses must be 300-level,
and no more than two may be 100-level courses. Only one American history
class will apply.
- Demonstration of second language competency
at the second year level.
- One university approved international study
experience. Choices for the international study experience may be
selected from the following:
- A year or semester study abroad
- A summer session study broad
- One short-term study abroad experience
(Spring, Fall, Christmas break) or comparable university approved
international experience
