The Global Skills track is an innovative, multidisciplinary and career-oriented curriculum that enables students to pursue disciplinary interests within a global context and to avail themselves of opportunities for study abroad and internships.

Global Skills tracks consist of nine credits in a career-oriented topic, complemented by an additional six credits of relevant study in upper-level courses in regional geography, history, political science, independent research, and/or internships that will assist the student's pursuit of an international career. This "9 plus 6 credits" structure is designed to encourage students to take advantage of the broad and increasing range of international careers.

Global Skills track courses must be approved in advance by departmental advisors, who will ensure the courses are complementary and relevant to a career-oriented topic.
