2. Take 5 Global Scholar Courses: Take courses across the university that count toward your major, minor, or electives. Earn a grade of “B” or better and keep an institutional GPA of 3.0 or higher. All Global Scholar courses are at the 3000 or 4000 level. Global Scholar courses can be found on GoSolar or PAWS. Watch the video below to learn how to find these courses. More information is available in the GSU 2021-22 Course Catalog.
3. Develop Professional Skills: Students who have taken 3 or more Global Scholar courses will receive invitations to workshops to learn how to build a global portfolio and prepare for job interviews.
