Global Studies is structured so that students advance through the program, progressively building their knowledge base, by taking the required Global Studies courses in sequence (see below). Global Studies majors, in particular, should expect to work extensively on the program in both their junior and senior years, as well as in the summer between these two years.
Note that these courses are generally offered once per year, and must be taken in sequence.
