Global Studies Summer Travel Study-Glbl St 110A/110B

Global Studies majors are expected (& minors are encouraged) to participate in a summer travel study at one of several strategic locations around the world.

These travel study programs act as a lens allowing students to see first-hand how the issues addressed in the Global Studies core curriculum are playing out around the world in places with distinctive histories and cultures.

Required Courses:
Glbl St 110A: Globalization in Context
Glbl St 110B: Globalization In Context Research Seminar

These courses explore the multifaceted nature of contemporary globalization and the social, political and economic faces of developments. Students will examine the expansion of markets and its relationship to political processes and social dynamics. General themes about marketization, democratization and culture and identity will be analyzed in the context of the particular experiences of different locations around the world.  The courses will combine required readings with class room discussion, experiential learning, and primary research.

Students can register for a Global Studies Summer Travel Studies Program through the UCLA International Education Office.  Please review that website for program dates, course descriptions, and information on merit based scholarships available to select students.

**Note that registration begins on November 15th!**
