Lamar University’s Global and International Studies Program awards a "Certificate of Completion in Global and International Studies" to graduating students in any major who fulfill the stipulated academic criteria. The program is directed by Dr. Kenneth Rivers of the Dept. of English and Foreign Languages (Box 10023; phone: 880-8595.) In line with Lamar’s mission statement, which says that the university shall provide an education with a "global" and "multicultural" context, this program enables students to certify that they have attained an international perspective during their undergraduate career. The Certificate track makes use of the many courses at LU which have content that is international (studying other nations or comparing the U.S. with other nations) or global (treating issues, cultural or scientific, which transcend national borders.) This track is open to any Lamar University student in a B.A. or B.S. degree program, in any major, who has demonstrated proficiency in a foreign language and who goes on to complete the 12 hours of certificate courses in accordance with the following requirements. (Proficiency shall be demonstrated either by examination, such as the CLEP, verifying competence through the fourth semester of a foreign language, or by higher education course work with a grade of C or higher through course 2312.) Qualified students receive an official certificate and a notation on their transcript from the Registrar.
