Global studies is an interdisciplinary major that gives students a global perspective on political and economic problems, preparing them for careers in government, business and the nonprofit sector. Students are encouraged to become fluent in a modern foreign language, and the faculty works to arrange for students to spend a semester or year of study abroad.
Learning Outcomes for Global Studies
Upon completing the global studies major students should:
- View global challenges from a perspective that integrates political, historical, economic, cultural and normative perspectives.
- Be able to articulate the primary theoretical frameworks used to understand the global arena.
- Understand the role of important state and non-state actors (international and non-governmental groups and organizations) in the global arena.
- Demonstrate strong communications skills (reading, writing and listening) as well as analytical and critical skills that enable them to dissect and solve complex problems effectively.
- Demonstrate the capacity to conduct independent research (identify and develop a research question, design research strategies based on the application of quantitative and/or qualitative methodologies, access and interpret information from print and electronic sources, write and present a critical and analytical argument).
