Course Lists

Global Studies students take courses in their chosen concentration, world region, and foreign language. Below you will find concentration course lists, links to regional course lists as maintained by UCIS area studies programs, and typical (commonly offered) foreign languages courses.  

Please note that courses are offered by various departments and schools across the University, which maintain the right to alter course offerings prior to the start of a new term. We update our GSP courselist as we are notified of changes, and we note the issue date in the top right of the cover page. To double-check scheduling accuracy, students should confirm information with the relevant departments before finalizing registration.
