CGIS GCC Information Sessions: Spring 2026

GCCs offer a unique opportunity to take what students learn on campus at U-M and apply it abroad in a fun and exciting hands-on class taught by a U-M professor. 

GCCs include two components:

  • An on-campus course during the winter semester
  • A 3-week, off-campus field experience that takes place during the following summer. 

CGIS is offering 8 GCC programs for Spring 2026 across four continents! Check out the information sessions by program below.



GCC Denmark: Reproductive Health Info Session

Livestream Available (Visible After Registration)

What is it about?

In a Copenhagen-focused extension of WGS 220, students will be able to compare and contrast information about social, political, and medical system issues surrounding reproductive health in the United States with the same issues in Denmark. Denmark is an interesting country for comparison because their integration of midwifery and obstetrical care is by design (a low-risk pregnancy is co-managed by a midwife and a physician together, but with most direct care and prenatal and labor visits managed by a midwife) and because of the much more robust parental leave policies.

Students must take WGS 220 in Winter 2026 to do the abroad portion of this program.
