The YourPace application now lists a BA in International and Global Studies as an available program offered through the University of Maine at Farmington.
According to the UMF catalog this is a full-fledged major not like the Public Policy program that UMF offers that is a concentration within their Interdisciplinary Studies major:

These types of courses are pretty normal for any degree in “International” anything. Reminds me a lot of the course selection I had for my International Affairs degree
Tbf, at first I thought the course choices I had for that degree were strange, too

Global Studies, maybe, but most International Relations/Affairs align with a less holistic and sociocultural approach and more political science-based (think FSO/FAO or diplomat-focused).
I know its a small school so they probably just threw some electives together and called it good.

Just to clarify that YourPace is not an app. It's a learning platform.

It's not an International Relations/Affairs degree. Relations/Affairs is nowhere in the title. It is a "Studies" degree.

That's not clear on the title of the thread and there is a college now offering a CBE program on an app.
