Recommendations of the Center for International Education and the Academic Policies and Curriculum Committee to Approve Two New Tracks to the Global Studies Degree and to Expand Ownership of the Degree to Additional Participating Schools/Colleges

Recommendations:

• That the L&S Faculty recommends to the Dean approval of the proposal of the Center for International Education to Add "Global Classrooms" and "Global Cities" Tracks to the Global Studies Degree and to make other minor changes in the degree program as outlined in the proposal below;
• That the L&S Faculty recommend to the Dean approval of the proposal of the Center for International Education to extend ownership of the Global Studies degree to schools and colleges that participate in offering tracks in the degree, the result of which will be that the degree will be awarded by the schools/colleges that sponsor the specific track followed by each student.

Rationale:

From its inception, the Global Studies degree was envisioned as a degree program that would offer a number of different tracks, each of them bringing a global overlay to a professional field. The Global Management was the first track approved. In addition to the two new tracks proposed herein, there are two more tracks under development.

See the proposal that follows for a justification of each of the specific changes recommended.
