Below, we highlight just a few programs (and a sampling of courses) in order to give you an idea of the types of courses that you could take through a study abroad program that will count towards the GLBL Major/Area Development Concentration.

We encourage you to talk with staff at SSU-Study Away for a complete view of the opportunities that are available to you through CSU-IP and other programs. We also suggest that you review all of the programs through CSU-IP very thoroughly.

Ultimately, you will need to discuss your plans with your Global Studies advisor to make sure that the courses you choose will count towards the major.
