International academic association
TheGlobal Studies Consortium (GSC) is an international academic association of over 20 institutions of higher learning. It seeks to "promote and facilitate graduate teaching programs inglobal studies and to foster cooperation among them."[1] That cooperation includes exchange of materials and development of methods to survey outcomes,[2] annual meetings, and a student exchange program. GSC deals only with graduate level programs, and there is no comparable association for undergraduate degree programs in global studies.[3]
The GSC was founded at a meeting of representatives of university global studies programs held in February 2007 at theOrfalea Center for Global and International Studies of theUniversity of California at Santa Barbara.[4] It has been influential in defining the new field ofglobal studies.[3]
GSC is linked toglobal-e: A Global Studies Journal.[5]
The member programs of the GSC[6] are listed by continent below:
