Introduction

Why minor in Global Studies?

The Global Studies program has several key objectives that inform learning outcomes:  

  • To redefine the United States as a member of the world community, rather than a singularly major power
  • To expose students to similarities and differences among global cultures
  • To provide experiences that broaden students’ ideas, knowledge, and perspective about international events and global issues 

Coursework in history, political science, economics, literature, and sociology create a strong foundation in critical analysis for you to develop and challenge new ideas. You’ll also have access to lectures, workshops, field experiences, and travel-abroad programs designed to foster learning opportunities well beyond the classroom.  

You can also major in Global Studies.
