Putting theory into practice helps solidify a student’s education, which is why experiential learning is highly emphasized across our program. You can receive class credit for internships that can be used to meet major requirements. The Global Studies major requires a significant intercultural experience: minimum 10 weeks. The requirement is most often fulfilled by study or an internship abroad.
