Global Studies


The Global Studies minor is an interdisciplinary program that analyzes global issues and cultures, societies, histories, and political and economic systems in a comparative global context. It is designed to enhance students’ understanding of diverse cultures, global issues, and other languages. It seeks to prepare students to live in and contribute to the complex, interconnected world of the 21st century by providing them with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to understand and serve others. To meet this objective, the minor will integrate language competency and global/intercultural studies to give students the tools they need to become engaged citizens in the local/national/global communities they enter after graduation. This minor adds an international perspective to any major.
