During the fall term, each student will take the first required core course (GLOBALST 710 ) plus two other half courses. During the winter term, each student will take the second core course (GLOBALST 709 ) and an additional two half courses. Each student is required to prepare a proposal for his/her Major Research Paper and identify a potential supervisor and second reader during the winter term. The Major Research Paper will be completed during the spring/summer session and will be graded as a pass or fail.
