Global Perspectives
Courses approved for the SF State Studies Global Perspectives requirement must examine topics that are global in scope (i.e., that involve different parts of the world), and must compare and contrast human experiences and perspectives, whether in the present or the past.
Courses certified as meeting the SF State Studies requirements may be upper- or lower-division, may be in General Education (GE), a major or minor, or an elective. Not all of the courses listed below are approved for General Education.
Students who study abroad can petition through the Undergraduate Advising Center, upon their return, to have the Global Perspectives met.
