Minor in Global Engagement & Leadership

Welcome Transfer Students

The GE Honor's Program's Minor in Global Engagement and Leadership is especially designed for transfer students, continuing Sacramento State students, and first-year students with significant AP/IB college credits. The minor program allows for students to take advantage of the benefits of the GE Honors Program and complete a minor that provides them with real-world experience. Students in the minor complete 21 units total - 9 of these units being courses that students must complete at Sacramento State. Students also take 12 units of elective credit in courses that provide them with skills in leadership building, real-world problem solving, and navigating life after college.

About the Minor

Global Engagement and Leadership is a program dedicated to interdisciplinary inquiry that weds general education with a minor. With its emphasis on real-world problem solving, the program provides the ideal avenue for students to hone their intellectual skills and apply their education beyond the classroom. The coursework invites students to explore ideas beyond the boundaries of traditional curriculum and to engage in a scholarly conversation with the broad university community. Students who complete the minor should truly be life-long learners who view themselves as global citizens.

The program is highly customizable, and lets its students pick classes from a wide array of disciplines and areas of study. This gives our students the ability to draw on knowledge and skills across multiple disciplines, practice critical and creative thinking, and pursue intercultural knowledge and competence.
