Students should choose six courses from the GLBL Thematic Elective index. Please note when selecting Foundational and Thematic elective courses, of the 9 courses required (3 T2 courses and up to 6 T3 electives):
- no more than 4 of the 9 courses may be from the same department
- at least 3 of the 9 courses must be upper level
When selecting among the Global electives, you may choose to focus on certain themes 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 electives from a combination of the above mentioned themes.
Please note: Because the Global Studies curriculum draws from over 24 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.
