Advising

The Global Studies major uses a professional academic advisor model to handle the needs of our growing cohort of majors. This replaces the more traditional “faculty advisor” model that many departments on campus utilize.

Ms. Grace Castle (MA) coordinates advising and registration clearance for all GLBL majors. Students may seek advising help with any questions about the major from Ms. Castle at any point during the fall, winter, spring and summer terms. Majors are also welcome and invited to seek guidance and advice on their studies, as well as life after UMBC from faculty working with the program.

Course registration advising takes place at two specific junctures during the academic year – early November and early March. During the registration period, you will meet with Ms. Castle to complete a registration advising appointment in order to receive clearance to register for the upcoming term. At these registration appointments, you will discuss your class schedule and review your degree audit.
