GIS - Global Issues

Participation in the CIS program is tracked through official enrollment in GIS 099-1 each semester. This course is conducted on a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) basis.  Final grades in GIS 099 each semester depend on the successful completion of the CIS program requirements as outlined in the catalog.

The Global Senior Capstone Course is graded and serves to integrate and synthesize all the international/intercultural experiences of students enrolled in the Certificate of International Studies. This course is reflection/based, and will serve to focus upon the transformative aspects of the student’s entire CIS experience. (i.e. achieving intermediate level proficiency in a second language, completing 12-16 credit hours of courses with substantive global dimensions, experiencing education-abroad, participating in international activities and events and assembling a portfolio.) In this course, students will present their assembled and completed portfolios and the student and CIS advisor will link the content to an appropriate career strategy for the student.
