See the big picture with an interdisciplinary approach

Globalization impacts almost every field of study - particularly business, culture, and communication. With our interdisciplinary program, you’ll view the world from all of these vantage points and see the complex network of connections between nations and people. By the time you’re a senior, you’ll be able to work on a specific case study. The Kyoto Treaty is one case study in which students examine political, economic, and environmental ramifications.

You may also choose to double-major. Pair your global studies major with one in another academic discipline - business management, legal studies, or political science, for example.

Become a "global thinker"

By the time you graduate, you’ll be a true "global thinker” — one who can parlay your interdisciplinary education into a career in government agencies, multinational companies, financial institutions, and non-governmental organizations.

Pick your geographical region

During your junior and seniors years, you'll focus on a particular geographical region of the world by completing several upper-level courses. Currently, we offer: Eastern Europe and Russian, Western Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Arabic-speaking world.

Become fluent in another language

As a student of the world — and one who has zeroed in on a particular region — you should be proficient in at least one other language. We offer six: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.
