**New Majors- Starting Fall 2018** Tier III Electives Index - Global Studies

NOTE: This index is for the selection of Tier III Electives for Global Studies students who declared their major in Fall 2018.

For a list of courses scheduled for Spring 2019 which meet the GLBL electives requirement, click here.

Students should choose seven courses from the GLBL Tier III elective index. Please note when selecting Tier Two and Tier Three elective courses, Of the 9 courses required (2 T2 courses and up to 7 T3 electives):

(a) no more than 4 of the 9 courses may be from the same department
(b) at least 3 of the 9 courses must be upper level,
(c) at least two areas of the college, CAHSS (Global Arts, Global Humanities and Global Social Sciences) must be represented.

You may hear about a Global Studies Track; when selecting among the Global electives, you may choose to focus on certain themes or tracks such as: Culture, Place, and Identity; Development, Health, and the Environment; Global Governance, Human Rights, and Civil Society; or you may choose to organize your own track from the course electives.

***Please note: Because the Global Studies curriculum draws from over 15 departments and programs, it is impossible to note all the prerequisites in the Course Index. It is the student’s responsibility to consult the UMBC catalog for the most up to date list of any prerequisites that may be required before taking particular upper-level courses.***
