Global and International Studies Minor
|
|
The Global and International Studies (GIS) minor seeks to prepare graduates to serve in a wide variety of contexts—including business, ministry, missions, politics, social work, and teaching—around the world. It is built around the theme of globalization, which orients students toward service to people both locally and abroad. The GIS minor offers a choice of two tracks:
Track A requires a semester or summer program of study abroad that includes language study in an approved BCA, CCCU, or other program.
Track B requires language study on campus with a semester or summer program of study abroad that does not include language instruction.
Regardless of track, the core of the minor entails meeting four main requirements:
- Completing the 3-hour gateway course: .
