CONDITIONAL ADMISSION
Students who are academically qualified but have not met Hamline’s minimum English proficiency requirement may receive conditional admission. Students are referred to the Global Language Institute (gli.edu) or ELS Language Center (els.edu) in Saint Paul, where they may study English until achieving the school’s highest level of English. Once they have successfully completed this, they will transfer directly to Hamline.
A student graduating with a global studies major will be able to:
Analyze transnational/transcultural issues using field specific concepts
Apply methodological approaches from more than a single discipline
Formulate a global studies research question
Work in a language other than his/her first language
Communicate in depth knowledge of a region of the world or cultural group.
Use technology as a resource for research and communication.
Majors can specialize in the following thematic tracks:
Global Governance
Global Economy and Development
Global Environmental Sustainability
Global Justice
Global Cultural Flows
This can be done through their choice of Upper-Level Electives. Majors must work with their Global Studies advisor to determine which courses fall under each thematic track.
To link the global to the local, majors will pursue thematic tracks in conjunction with a regional concentration in one of the following geographic areas:
Africana
East Asia
Europe
Latin America
Middle East
