Center for Integrative Studies

The Minor in Contemporary Global Studies, which is administered by the College of Social Science, is available as an elective to students who are enrolled in bachelor's degree programs at Michigan State University.  With the approval of the department and college that administer the student's degree program, the courses that are used to satisfy the requirements for the minor may also be used to satisfy the requirements for the bachelor's degree.

The Minor in Contemporary Global Studies is designed for students who wish to increase their understanding of the impact of globalization with an interdisciplinary lens. Students will learn about contemporary global issues and how they shape their everyday experiences at an individual, community, and societal level. Students will also learn effective ways to investigate and document global and local issues that shape globalization.
