Group of students sitting in front of a Cathedral in Madrid

Below, we highlight just a few programs (and a sampling of courses) in order to give you an idea of the types of courses that will count towards

The GLBL Minor
Electives in the GLBL Major/Area Studies Concentration

We encourage you to talk with staff at SSU-Study Away for a complete view of the opportunities that are available to you through CSU-IP and other programs. We also suggest that you review all of the programs through CSU-IP very thoroughly.

Ultimately, you will need to discuss your plans with your Global Studies advisor to make sure that the courses you choose will count towards the major.
