|
 Return to: College of Education
Learning doesn’t have to take place in the classroom. The Global Studies minor within the College of Education focuses on education in an ever-changing globalized world. Combined with classes on multiculturalism in education and an emphasis on globalization, this minor shows employers that you have a global perspective and international experience, which can set you apart from other educators. Explore the world and develop a global world view.

Requirements for the Minor (10-13 credits)
Studying abroad (outside the United States) a minimum of two weeks is a requirement for the minor. These weeks do not need to be taken consecutively. A. Diversity, Equity, and Social Justice in Education (2-3 credits)
Choose one.
B. Multidisciplinary Course (3 credits)
Choose one. C. International/Globalization Emphasis (4-7 credits)
Credit hours plus weeks abroad must equal 9. - 4 credit hours + 5 weeks abroad
- 5 credit hours + 4 weeks abroad
- 6 credit hours + 3 weeks abroad
- 7 credit hours + 2 weeks abroad
1. Study Abroad* (2-5 Weeks)
To meet the International/Globalization Emphasis, a student must study abroad (outside the United States) for a minimum of two weeks. The weeks abroad do not need to be taken consecutively. 2. Additional Courses (4-7 credits)
- EDCI 37001 - Teaching And Learning English As A New Language
- EDCI 52600 - Language Study For Educators
- World Language course(s) - Credit Hours: 3.00 - 6.00
- International Focus course (pre-approval required, see below)** - Credit Hours: 3.00
- Building on a global consciousness framework proposed by Mansilla and Gardner (2007), courses selected to meet this requirement should have an international focus that encourage a mindful way of being in the world and stimulate students to develop three dispositions: global sensitivity (awareness to connect local experiences to a global framework); global understanding (ability to think critically on global issues and provide sustainable solutions); and, global self (ability to perceive oneself as a global actor a world stage). Course syllabi should clearly indicate attention to these dispositions.
D. Global Studies Seminar (1 credit)
The Global Studies Seminar class is a Fall-only class offered on campus. This course must be taken after the study abroad experience for credit in the Global Studies Minor. Notes
- The Global Studies Minor is not a licensure program.
- *Study Abroad is defined by any of a number of arrangements by which Purdue students complete part of their college program through educational activities outside the United States. Such activities include - but are not limited to - classroom study, research, intern or externships, and service learning.
- **International Focus courses must receive pre-approval. Submit paperwork to College of Education Senior Advisor. This paperwork will be evaluated by the College of Education International Committee and the Associate Dean for Learning, Engagement, and Global Initiatives for a decision.
