Minor in Global Migration Studies

The Minor in Global Migration Studies is a interdisciplinary program to provide students with an understanding of migration's causes, effects, and impacts and a critical comparative framework for migrant's experiences (history, gender, and culture). The core represents courses that have a wide survey of different migrant groups and provide a foundation for the more focused courses in the comparative framework.

Courses used to meet the certificate requirement may, where applicable, also be used simultaneously to meet General Education requirements or the major and minor requirements of cooperating departments.
