ILR Global Scholars program (GSP) encourages students to incorporate a global component into their education at ILR, and recognizes those who do this successfully. The program is an academic distinction that is listed on students' transcript and they are honored at the McPherson Awards Ceremony. Most years less than 5% of the graduating seniors earn the ILR Global Scholars distinction. Becoming an "ILR Global Scholar" involves successfully completing the following four "components."
- Significant credit-bearing international experience while at ILR.
- Foreign language study at the 2000 level at Cornell.
- Five ILRIC/GL approved courses. Two courses can be from abroad, courses must be graded and 3+ credits; can combine IC/GL 1, 1.5 or 2-credit courses to equal 3 or 4 credits to meet a course requirement.
- Complete the Global Scholars Capstone ILRIC 4940 the spring semester your senior year.
In order to enter the GSP a student must have a minimum GPA of 3.6. If you are interested in information on how you can become a Global Scholar contact Becky Baines (rb786@cornell.edu), the Program Coordinator of International Programs.
