For Academic Advisors
Students who earn a grade of B or better in five 3000-4000 Global Scholar courses and who have an institutional grade-point average of 3.0 or higher at the time of graduation will be recognized as Global Scholars. Courses with the Global Scholars designation are noted in the catalog course description.
Courses that count toward the Global Scholar Distinction may be from the major or from other disciplines across the university. However, the intent of the Global Scholar Distinction initiative is for students to earn this designation within the bounds of their current undergraduate program. Students are not encouraged to take additional classes beyond those in their major, elective area, or minor (if applicable) in pursuit of this distinction. Find more information on the GSU 2021-22 Course Catalog.
Global Scholar courses can be found throughout the university. By Fall 2019, 430 courses were listed as Global Scholar courses. Each year, departments identify existing courses or add new courses with global content to the Global Scholars course list. Availability of courses may change by semester.
