                  Language Requirement

                  0 items

                    Global Studies majors are required to complete the equivalent of 4 semesters of language study in a language or languages other than English. Some students place out of a language course or courses through one of the mechanisms listed below; thus, students might meet the Global Studies major language requirement by taking anywhere from 0-16 credits of language study. Students may fulfill or work towards fulfilling the GS language requirement in a number of ways, including by:

                    major core · 0 items

                      -Taking language courses at Lehigh at any level. (This could be all in one language, or across two different languages; studying three different languages is also permitted but should be pursued only in special circumstances.)

                                  Study Abroad or International Internship

                                  0 items

                                    Students should complete 12 credits of study abroad, which can be used to fulfill elective or core course requirements when appropriate. Students may also substitute an international internship for study abroad; the internship must include a minimum of 100 hours over at least six weeks (presumably during the summer) and must be at an organization connected to global issues. If extended time abroad is a hardship, GS students may also petition the program director to undertake a U.S.-based internship directly involved in international and global issues.
