The major in Global Studies gives students an interdisciplinary perspective on the interaction of global communities and prepares students to participate effectively in our global environment. The program is designed for students planning to earn a bachelor’s degree in International Relations, Global Affairs, National Security, Peace/Conflict Studies, Foreign Service, and Diplomacy.
Upon successful completion of this program, students should be able to:
- Locate regions of the world and understand their environmental, anthropological, sociological, and cultural attributes
- Explain the history and impact of societies and their cultural, political, religious, economic, and artistic interrelationships
- Understand the concept of globalization and its positive and negative ramifications
- Identify and explain different perspectives on the values, beliefs, and communication styles of multiple societies
