The Department of Global Studies (formerly the Department of International Studies) offers bachelor of arts (BA), bachelor of science (BS), and master of arts (MA) degrees in global studies and minors in global studies and global health. The programs are tailored to give students the theoretical tools to make sense of the fast-changing global arena; ensure the practical application of their research; immerse them in the language, history, and culture of a major world region; ensure they live, study, conduct research, or hold an internship that enhances their intercultural knowledge, understanding, and skills; and help them develop a professional concentration area suitable for their career goals. For the Global Studies undergraduate programs, professional concentration and geographic focus options are listed in the Undergraduate section of the department page.

The Department of Global Studies is a member of the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs and the International Studies Association. These associations provide more opportunities in research, internships, funding, and employment for global studies students.

The bachelor’s degree offers students a rigorous education in the basic elements of the field. The program provides a sound general education for the student interested in the complex interrelationships (political, economic, environmental, social, and cultural) that exist among nations in the interdependent modern world.

Advising

Advising about specific major requirements is provided by Global Connections Advisors in the Tykeson College & Career Advising unit. Regular consultation with the Global Connections Advisors is strongly recommended for majors, premajors, and minors. Additionally, the role of the faculty mentor is central to the program. Students applying to the major are required to choose a faculty member with whom they have a common area of interest to act as their mentor, typically one of the core or participating faculty members named in the departmental faculty list or a faculty member from the student’s concentration areas, professional or geographic.

Admission

The first step for students planning to major in global studies is to declare the premajor. Students should make an appointment with a Global Connections Advisor to declare the premajor. Global studies premajors must first complete the requirements listed below before they can apply to the global studies major.

Course List

Students must maintain a grade point average of 3.00 (cumulative) or higher than 3.00 for three consecutive terms prior to the term of application.

Courses required for the premajor must be passed with a C– or better. Freshman seminars do not count toward this requirement. Students are strongly encouraged not to wait until their junior or senior year to apply. Premajor advising and help with the application process are available via appointments made with Global Connections Advisors in the Tykeson College & Career Advising unit. Applicants are required to meet with a Global Connections Advisor as part of the major application process. Applications are due on Monday of the fourth week of fall, winter, and spring terms.

In exceptional cases (and to accommodate transfer students), students entering the university may apply to become a global studies major without completing the required two terms. More information is available from the director of undergraduate studies.

Second-Language Acquisition and Teaching

 Students must complete the requirements of the certificate in second-language acquisition and teaching to fulfill this concentration. Students may choose their language specialization from the following target languages: Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, or Spanish. For more information, including requirements and courses, please contact an international studies undergraduate advisor and visit slat.uoregon.edu.

Course List

Code	Title	Credits
Required and Elective Courses
Students must contact a global studies undergraduate advisor for options in their linguistic areas

Additional Requirements

Courses must be passed with grades of C– or better to satisfy major requirements. In addition, three years’ proficiency in a second language is required (see below for details).

Courses applied to the major, with the exception of the language requirement and up to 8 credits inField Studies: [Topic] (GLBL 406) or Practicum: [Topic] (GLBL 409), must be taken for letter grades.

A maximum of 12 credits in courses taken to fulfill the university group requirements may be applied toward the global studies major.

A maximum of 20 credits in courses taken in a single department other than global studies may be applied toward the global studies major, exclusive of the language requirement and the External Block B Professional Concentration option.

For the most current information about courses and requirements, visit the department website.

Language Requirement

To satisfy this requirement, students must achieve proficiency in a second language at a level associated with three years of study. Proficiency in the language may be demonstrated by passing three terms of a 300-level language sequence with grades of mid-C or better, by an examination, or by graduating from a high school in which English was not the medium of instruction.

A student may also fulfill the language requirement with two years’ proficiency in two different languages exclusive of the student’s native language. Students wishing to pursue this option must get approval from the director of undergraduate studies faculty.

Intercultural Experience

Majors must have a significant immersive intercultural experience to complete requirements for the major. One way that this can be satisfied is with at least one term (ten weeks) of study or work in another country that coincides with the student's geographic focus area. Contact the departmental advising office for information about other ways to satisfy this requirement. For information about study in another country, see Study Abroad in the Supplementary Academic Programming section of this catalog. Advice is available from the Office of International Affairs, 330 Oregon Hall. Domestic (US-based) cultural experiences and internships must be preapproved by the advising team.

Internship Option

Students may earn pass/no pass (P/N) credit for work done as interns. Interested students should consult with global studies advisors.

Minor in Global Health

The College of Arts and Sciences administers an undergraduate minor in global health, overseen by the global health program director and a faculty advisory committee.

To earn a minor, students must complete a total of 24 graded credits from approved courses, at least 12 of which must be at the upper-division level, as well as a 400-level field experience or internship, to be arranged in consultation with a faculty advisor from an affiliated program.

The courses that satisfy the minor are distributed as follows: two core courses and four elective courses. Core and elective courses applied to the minor must be taken for letter grades and passed with grades of C– or better.

Students seeking to qualify for a minor should, as early as possible, consult the global health program director as well as advisors in the Tykeson College & Career Advising unit. Developing the plan for elective courses with the advisors’ help ensures that the courses selected satisfy the minor requirements and may be completed in a timely fashion.

No later than two terms before graduation, the student must notify the advisors in the Tykeson College & Career Advising unit of intent to graduate for verification of the global health minor coursework and transcript evaluation. The student must also indicate the global health minor on the application for graduation. Students must complete major requirements for an undergraduate degree in another department or school of the university.

Deviations from the requirements listed must be approved by a global health advisor.

Restrictions

No more than three courses (12 credits) from a single department (courses with the same subject code) may count toward the minor. No more than three courses may count for both the global health minor and the student’s major field of study. Twenty credits toward the minor and all upper-division courses must be taken in residence at the University of Oregon. Course work within the minor, including the field experience or internship, must be taken for a letter grade and passed with a grace of C– or better.

Majors in global studies are strongly encouraged to complete a minor in the UO program that correlates with their geographic focus. Available programs include African studies, Asian studies, European studies, Latin American studies, Middle East–North Africa Studies, and Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies.

Minor in Global Service

The global service minor provides students with the opportunity to add a global perspective to any major, in addition to providing a solid grounding in intercultural communication and the foundations of global citizenship. Students are able to tailor coursework to their own professional and personal objectives, so the minor is a suitable complement to a BA or BS degree in any school or department.

Global studies minors must complete 24 global studies (subject code GLBL) course credits, 12 of which must be upper division, with a grade of C– or better or P. Course selection is up to the individual student, but for advising purposes tracks are suggested for students coming from different majors. Tracks have been designed to align with particular career goals. Student may elect up to 12 lower-division credits, which share a common purpose of fostering critical and cross-cultural thinking as well as encouraging students to seek out and understand diverse perspectives and ways of approaching and communicating about current global issues. The 12 required upper-division credits allow a deeper investigation of issues, regions, and cultures and also hone skills in research, effective writing, and oral presentation to address rapidly changing and complex current and future issues.

Students select a professional sector concentration and a world region concentration.

• The six sector concentrations are: Youth in Development, Health, Environment, Community Economic Development, Education and Agriculture

• The three world region concentrations are: Latin America, West Africa, World at large

All students complete four required core competencies and students who select Latin America or West Africa complete a fifth.

• Core competency 1: Professional Sector Concentration (12 credits)

• Core competency 2: Intercultural Competence (12 credits)

• Core competency 3: Practical experience (non-credit)

- Students complete 50 hours practical experience related to their professional sector concentration.  Site supervisor certifies satisfactory completion of hours and tasks.

• Core competency 4: Professional and leadership development - 3 activities (non-credit)

 - Resume review/critique with UO Career Center or Faculty Mentor

 - Attend a workshop on interview skills with the UO Career Center

 - Develop and carry out a significant leadership experience and submit a 2-page reflection paper on it.

• Core competency 5: Language proficiency (variable; up to 8 credits)

Minor in Global Studies

The Global Studies minor provides students with the opportunity to add a global health perspective to any major, in addition to providing a solid grounding in intercultural communication and the foundations of global citizenship. Students are able to tailor course work to their own professional and personal objectives, so the minor is a suitable complement to a BA or BS degree in any school or department.

International studies minors must complete 24 international studies (subject code GLBL) course credits, 12 of which must be upper division, with a grade of C– or better or P. Course selection is up to the individual student, but for advising purposes optional, nonrigid tracks are suggested for students coming from different majors, tracks that can especially complement particular career goals. Student may elect up to 12 lower-division credits, which share a common purpose of fostering critical and cross-cultural thinking as well as encouraging students to seek out and understand diverse perspectives and ways of approaching and communicating about current global issues. The 12 required upper-division credits allow a deeper investigation of issues, regions, and cultures and also hone skills in research, effective writing, and oral presentation to address rapidly changing and complex current and future issues.

Four-Year Degree Plan

The degree plan shown is only a sample of how students may complete their degrees in four years. There are alternative ways. Students should consult their advisor to determine the best path for them.

Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies

Below is an example of how to complete a BA in global studies with a diplomacy and international relations professional concentration and a Middle East geographic focus. Since the major offers 16 options for professional concentration areas and seven different geographic focus regions, with a wide variety of courses that can count toward each concentration, there are innumerable paths through the global studies major.

This degree plan is for general planning purposes only and, due to the interdisciplinary nature of the major, it is imperative that students speak with advisors to determine which courses would best match their personal, professional, and academic goals.
