The
Global and International Studies Program (GISP) offers a problem-based and
interdisciplinary path for the study of global and international affairs at
Bard College. Drawing on faculty strengths in anthropology, economics,
history, political science, sociology and area studies programs, the GISP
curriculum fosters connections among different disciplinary approaches to
global phenomena so to facilitate new and innovative perspectives on
international affairs.
GISP
offers courses in three Thematic
Subfields (described on the website).
Students choose one of these fields to be the primary focus of their
major and take at least one course in each of the remaining two fields. Courses in the Thematic Subfields must come
from at least three different disciplines.
·
Transnationalism
·
Global
Economics
·
International
Relations
In addition, students:
·
complete
Area Studies coursework in two
geographic regions,
·
attain
competency in a related foreign
language, and
·
study abroad or at the Bard Globalization and
International Affairs program.
Moderation
Requirements:
Prior
to or concurrent with moderation, a
student must have taken at least four
GISP courses, including one core
course and three additional
GISP-listed courses. Students should
identify their primary thematic subfield and have made progress toward the
language requirement.
Joint
majoring with other interdisciplinary programs, with the exception of
stand-alone area studies programs, is discouraged and will be considered on a
case-by-case basis by the program directors. Students who plan to fulfill the
study away requirement at BGIA may complete the required core course while in
New York City. Please see the program’s website
for more details on moderation.
