This course is a project-based capstone that sums up the various experiences of Global Studies majors with their respective concentrations, languages, and preferred methodologies. Putting into practice what they have learned throughout their major, students will spend most of the 10 weeks working on a final project of their choice with approval and guidance from the instructor. The final outcome of this class should be a product (an academic paper, a website, a short film, an art exhibit, or similar) that students can potentially use to gain employment or acceptance into graduate school.
