Interested in a Major or Minor in Global Studies?

The Global Studies major develops knowledge sets, skills and values necessary for the analysis and solution of contemporary world problems. The requirements of the major enrich, complement, and coordinate departmental offerings with the goals of providing interdisciplinary knowledge of diverse cultures, as well as their social, economic and political interactions and impacts on the world. This major was developed in response to the growing demand for knowledge and skills to successfully address concerns at international and global levels. This competence is critical for students preparing for careers or further study in a variety of fields including law, public policy, business, finance, education, communications, international affairs, and the health industry.

Students are required to attend one of the following informational meetings in order to be eligible to declare the Global Studies Major or Minor.
