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 CCCU or other program.
Track B requires domestic language study (at another institution) as well as 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:
