Global Studies Major, Global Cultural Studies Concentration
Program Requirements
- Total Units Required: 36
- Grade Requirement: Students must receive a grade of C+ or higher in all courses.
The concentration in Global Cultural Studies focuses on the practical and theoretical issues arising from cross-cultural encounters around the world. Students will study these issues by both examining conventional cultural products (e.g., literature, film, visual art, new media) and investigating their broader political and social contexts. This concentration addresses compelling issues of cultural interchange for students interested in cultures for their own sake as well as in careers in NGOs and international business and law.
Concentration Objectives
The Global Cultural Studies concentration is committed to interdisciplinary approaches to contemporary problems. Students may take courses in the language and literature disciplines as well as in anthropology; art history; film; history; music; religious studies; and women, gender, and sexuality studies.
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.
- Students must complete at least 6 units at the 4000 level, no more than 3 of which may be directed research or independent study.
- 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 coursework 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
- 6 units of disciplinary introductions and methods coursework (from two different disciplines; 1000-2000 level)
- 9 units of world area coursework (any level)*
- 18 units of advanced coursework (at least one course must focus on gender, race, or class) (3000-4000 level)
- *
Of the three required world area courses, one must be at the advanced level. The other two courses may be taken at any level.
Africa, East Asia, Eurasia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, South Asia, and North America are considered world areas for the Global Cultural Studies concentration. A student must complete two courses in one of these world areas and one course in another world area.
Note: A single course may satisfy more than one of the distribution requirements (i.e., disciplinary; gender, race, class; or world area). Some of these requirements may be completed while abroad.

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).
Language Requirement
All Global Studies majors must satisfy a language requirement that entails both the successful completion of four semesters of a modern language for a letter grade and placement into the third year of that language.
Available modern languages include Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swahili.
Please see the FAQs on the Global Studies website for more information.
