Global Studies (GS) ~ Overview
The Global Studies major promotes a well-informed understanding and appreciation of the diversity of peoples, natural environments, cultures, economies, and political systems of the world. It directly contributes to your development as a cross-culturally competent citizen, and prepares you for an active and creative leadership role in an increasingly globalized society. Our program provides the knowledge and skills needed to perform effective roles in intercultural relations and to pursue a successful career in global affairs.
You will develop your knowledge of diverse worldviews, ideologies, principles, environmental sustainability, social change, economics, politics, culture, identity, ethnicity, race, class, gender, nationality, citizenship, peace ethics, and social justice. You will gain skills in the gathering and evaluation of global affairs information, the critical analysis of complex and controversial global issues, social research, oral and written communication, intercultural relations, foreign language, community service, and social action.
