Study Abroad FAQs
I want to study abroad, can I have courses apply towards the major?
Yes, this will of course depend on where you study abroad and if the courses you take are applicable to Global Studies. All courses must be pre-approved, but final approval is determined by the Global Studies chair via a petition, available on the Travel and Study Abroad Tab (once you come back from abroad and courses have posted to your DAR). The number of courses you take abroad will depend on how long you intent to study abroad for. Visit the International Education Office for study abroad programs.
I’m thinking of applying to graduate or professional school. What should I do?
The Global Studies program does not have a graduate program in Global Studies at UCLA.
You might want to inquire about the programs offered through the UCLA School of Public Policy and Social Research or the UCLA Political Science Department.
How do I get information on scholarships, internships, and jobs?
You can obtain more information about these right on the Global Studies website.
For Internships and Jobs opportunities, you may contact or meet with an adviser from the Career Center or the Center for Community Learning. or visit our Career Resources Tab
For Scholarship information, please contact the Scholarship Resource Center.
