Program Requirements

• Total Units Required: 36

All societies change over time, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. In this concentration, students explore different conceptions of development and consider why some societies develop while others languish. What accounts for disparities in longevity, wealth, and access to food and health care? How can we explain differences in extreme poverty, malnutrition, and treatable disease? Students consider how societies move from being heavily rural to having higher levels of urbanization. What explains differences in political, civil, and economic liberties? What accounts for differences in gender rights and opportunities? What are the implications of climate change and environmental distress?

Concentration Objectives

The Global Studies concentration in development offers an interdisciplinary approach to examine why some societies develop politically, socially, and economically while others languish. Students can explore disparities in wealth, political freedoms, gender rights, urbanization, access to basic resources like food and health care, environmental conditions, and social justice.

General Requirements

One semester of language must be completed before declaring the major.

• Students must complete a minimum of 36 units in Global Studies, including at least three courses focused on a world area.
• Students must complete at least 24 units at the 3000 level or above, including courses across a minimum of three academic disciplines.

• In addition to the 36 units, students must complete a four-semester sequence of courses in one modern language appropriate to their concentration.

These requirements may be fulfilled only with college-level course work undertaken during a student's undergraduate enrollment. Courses must be taken for a grade, and a student must receive a grade of C+ or higher in all courses.

This concentration requires 36 units of coursework:

• 3 units of core coursework: GLOBAL 3020 Global Futures

Additional Requirements and Information

Study Abroad

• We strongly encourage students to study abroad. For those who do not study abroad and receive credit toward the Global Studies General Requirements, an additional 3-unit course at the 3000 or 4000 level is required.
• We strongly prefer students to select a study abroad location and regional specialization consistent with their chosen language of study (e.g., if a student wishes to study in Latin America, they must satisfy their language requirement with either Portuguese or Spanish).
• Students may receive a maximum of 6 credits from a single semester, 12 credits from a year, or 3 credits from a summer term of study abroad.
• Study abroad credit only counts at the 3000 level.
• Students may apply no more than 12 total credits to the Global Studies major from study abroad, the School of Continuing & Professional Studies, summer school at other U.S. universities, or any combination thereof.
• To receive credit for a summer course completed at another institution, a student should fill out the Approval for Non-WashU Course Credit form with Arts & Sciences to take the course for "general credit" and then petition to have the course count as an elective toward their Global Studies major.
• Students may not receive credit for January Intensive Term (J-Term) study abroad programs; these programs are too short in duration.

Latin Honors

• Students must graduate with an overall grade point average of 3.65 or higher to qualify for Latin Honors.
• Students must submit an intent form and be accepted for candidacy.
• Students should enroll in GLOBAL 4985 during the fall of senior year and in GLOBAL 4986 during the spring of senior year (under the corresponding section number of the faculty member overseeing the student's thesis).
