Global Studies Common Core
Common Core:
All concentrators, regardless of the track, are required to take the following: Note:
AMES 493 fulfills both the MWR and CPR for the concentration. The common core will fulfill 7 credits.
* For example, if a student’s track is East Asian Studies, he or she must complete a 3-credit course that focuses on Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, or any other Asia-related course outside of East Asian Studies. Tracks:
The remaining 30 credits are to come from courses that are specific to each of the two tracks that form the concentration. These are described below. Consult the AMES website for a list of courses. Major Writing Requirement (MWR)
The major writing requirement may be satisfied by (1) taking a course that counts for the MWR for a student’s Global Studies concentration (2) completing a writing project designed to meet the MWR with special permission from a faculty member (3) conducting an independent study or honors project under the supervision of a faculty member on a topic appropriate to your major or (4) fulfilling the major writing requirement in a disciplinary major. Major Computer Proficiency Requirement (CPR)
Global Studies majors may satisfy the computing proficiency requirement by (1) fulfilling the computing requirement for a department that offers a course in the student’s major (2) completing a course that counts for the CPR for a student’s Global Studies concentration or (3) completing CSCI 131 or higher. Line 1: Core Course (Required)
Lines 2 and 3: Advanced Language Courses (Choose Two)
Students are required to take two courses beyond the 202-level in one East Asian language, or 202-level proficiency in two languages (two East Asian languages or one East Asian language and another language from the AMES region, e.g. Arabic). Although the College is not currently able to offer languages beyond Chinese and Japanese, a student could count another East Asian language (for example, Korean) provided they can demonstrate proficiency through accredited academic courses taken domestically or abroad. The courses in this category will total 6 credits. Line 4: History (Choose One)
