The demand for graduates in global studies is growing fast in the private sector and in government. Job opportunities include international, government and non-government organizations, foreign trade, diplomacy, international law, marketing, health administration, foreign affairs, defense, intelligence, foreign aid, humanitarian services, politics, education, language services and journalism.
Additional credit hours could indicate a major, second minor, or certificate. A minimum of 120 credit hours is required to graduate.
An undergraduate student should initiate a Change of Academic Program if they wish to add or remove a minor.
The student obtains a Change of Academic Program form from the Registrar's Office or the department of the new major/minor, secures the signature of the department chair/director (or dean) of any major/minor to be added, and returns the form to the Registrar's Office for processing.
A student must submit the completed form by the Thursday before priority registration if the change is to be made within the current semester. Unless granted a waiver by the department of the new major, the student must meet all current program requirements for graduation.
The global studies minor provides skills desired for jobs in management, administration, consulting firms, media, public service, commerce and industry. These include skills in research, communication, policy and political analysis and information management. Global studies also provides an excellent background for the study of law and advanced graduate study in a number of social science disciplines, business and journalism.

The 91社区 is committed to making college accessible to those wishing to further their education by providing numerous scholarships, grants, and financial aid options to assist students in managing tuition expenses.
"After I graduate from the 91社区 this spring, I will be moving to Nottingham, England to further my academic studies. I have been accepted into the University of Nottingham, a research-intensive Russell Group institution, to study within the 2024-2025 Master of Arts program in International Media and Communications. As a double-degree student in Global Studies and English, I am excited to continue my studies in a program that seamlessly combines both of my undergraduate degrees from 91社区 and focuses more intensely on themes in media and cultural labor, agency and power in a digital era, and the ethics and politics of communication practices."
