Directed Readings in Global Studies

Catalog description

This directed readings course may be taken with permission of the director of the Global Studies Program for a course of study not otherwise offered at Loyola that is relevant to the Global Studies Program and addresses at least one of the program's learning outcomes. Students must arrange this course of study with a faculty mentor of their choosing and in conversation with the GLST director. The faculty mentor, who can come from any department or school at Loyola University Chicago, should send the syllabus to the director of the Global Studies Program for approval at least one month before the start of the term in which the student plans to undertake their course of study. Normally, students should complete a substantial research project or a paper of approximately 20,000 words (about forty double-spaced pages) that they work on over the course of the entire semester with their faculty mentor.
