Course Planning for New and Exploring Students

Students interests in exploring global studies as a potential major should plan to take GLST 100: Intro to Global Studies. Students should also begin their world language sequence in the first year.

Declare a Major/Minor

All students are expected to declare a major before the end of sophomore year. Ideally, sophomore students will declare a major (and switch to an advisor in the major) before advance registration advising begins in spring term.

The major advisor will help students plan their coursework to satisfy requirements for the major, select courses in other areas to complement the major or satisfy personal interests, and prepare for their Senior Experience.
