Testimonial
"I am 'offering’ a B.A. in Global South Studies (GSS) because I studied abroad in West Africa. My reason for the GSS major is that I will be entering a global health policy career. My reason for using the term 'offering' is because that's how my student peers spoke at the University of Ghana during Fall 2008!”
