  • Feb. 2

  • Feb. 8

Interdisciplinary Certificate Programs in Development and Health

Please let your students know of two exciting interdisciplinary certificate programs of study being offered by LAS Global Studies!

 

The Certificate in International Development Studies is ideal for students interested in poverty reduction, sustainability and international development careers with governments, think tanks, social enterprises and non-governmental organizations. The Certificate in Global Health (offered in collaboration with WGGP) is ideal for students with pre-health goals, aspirations to work community health or health policy with governments, non-governmental organizations and social enterprises. Each certificate requires the completion of 15 credit hours with specific core courses and elective course requirements and can be easily complemented with most major coursework.

 

Students can learn more, by attending our last information session for Fall 2015 on Monday, December 7, 2015 at 2pm. The information session will be held at Global Studies conference room at 703 S. Wright St., 3rd floor (next to cocomero frozen yogurt).

Portuguese and Brazilian Studies Info Section

The Portuguese and Brazilian Studies program (Department of Spanish and Portuguese) will be holding the first of two info sections for its major and minor on Thursday of this week at 5pm in FLB 1030 (see attached flyer).  This session will be of interest for any student thinking about international business, agriculture, engineering, or Latin American affairs, in addition to area/cultural/language studies.  Remember, the U of I is a Title VI school and a FLAS for Portuguese is one of the ways to possibly fund both undergraduate and graduate work.  The Lemann Institute of Brazilian Studies also offers various opportunities for students with a Portuguese or Brazil focus.  The time has never been better to consider adding Portuguese and Brazilian Studies to students’ profiles.

Many thanks for your help spreading the word about this Thursday’s info session and our program in general.
