Cultivating Understanding Across Nations

Global Studies (GS) courses examine the connections between nations, institutions, and peoples and the trends that shape our lives. With a diverse array of courses to choose from, Global Studies is highly flexible, allowing students to tailor the program to match their interests. GS majors and minors acquire analytical skills, research experience, and a breadth of knowledge that enable them to contribute to the rapidly evolving global community. The GS program prepares students for careers that require an interdisciplinary perspective on contemporary global cultures, politics, economics, and history. GS has a track record of placing graduates in a wide range of vital sectors and graduate programs, including law, health and medicine, public policy, media, international business and finance, humanitarian aid and refugee resettlement, as well as research and academia.
