Global Studies Minor
https://cola.unh.edu/interdisciplinary-studies/program/minor/global-studies
The Global Studies (GS) minor adds a recognized distinction and global context to your primary major at UNH. It was developed for those students who, due to the demands of their primary majors, are unable to complete the more rigorous requirements of the GS dual major.
The minor is declared when the fifth course is being taken. The student should obtain the minor completion form from the department.
Students who wish to declare the Global Studies minor must earn a C or better in all GS course requirements and have a 2.5 cumulative grade-point average.
