The Global and International Studies in Social Science major (GLIS) guides students through an exploration of a world region or topic of interest through the lens of multiple social science disciplines. Throughout the curriculum, students are provided opportunities to engage in interdisciplinary thinking and conduct research. Graduates are well prepared for ongoing study and careers around the globe.
The Global and International Studies in Social Science major provides students with breadth in social science foundational courses combined with in-depth knowledge in a world region or global topic.
In addition to academic focus on a region or theme, students must demonstrate second-year foreign language competency in a non-English language relevant to their course of study. Students also engage in interdisciplinary thinking and research through required introductory, methods, and capstone courses..
Students are strongly encouraged to have at least one international experience through study abroad, internships, or independent study. The major helps prepare students for jobs in government, business, and non-governmental organizations and for graduate study in international or area studies and other fields.
