Policy Statement - 12-11 Global Migration Studies, Minor in

Minor in Global Migration Studies (code COLAUM01)

This new minor was recommended by the Academic Senate on September 20, 2012
and approved by the President on October 8, 2012.

The Minor in Global Migration Studies is a interdisciplinary program to provide students with an understanding of migration鈥檚 causes, effects, and impacts and a critical comparative framework for migrant鈥檚 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.
