Overview
Admission
Overview
The Interdisciplinary Global Studies certificate is designed to integrate student learning across disciplines and programs, and foster connections between disciplinary learning, world languages and study-abroad experiences. This summative experience will have students earn a certificate to document their international experience and credentials.
The certificate requires a total of 15 credits in international coursework, at least three credits of world language study and an education-abroad experience. Language study is a mandatory component of the certificate but can only total eight credits out of 15. This results in competency in both international studies and world languages.
A wide range of options, including short-term programs, is provided to meet the needs of community college students with family and work responsibilities. Alternatively, students with more flexible schedules can complete certificate requirements through a semester-abroad experience.
Program Details
Students earning the Global Studies certificate can attend full or part time.
Global Studies classes may be offered at these Madison College campuses:
- Madison - Truax
- Madison - Downtown
- Madison - South
