About the Program
Global Studies—an Interdisciplinary Approach to our Interconnectedness
Global Studies is an interdisciplinary major that helps students understand critical concepts—such as the value of international infrastructure and global citizenship, as well as the idea that what is a seemingly inconsequential action, like buying a T-shirt, actually has a domino effect that creates many ripples across continents.
Take GLST 2 Global Issues this Winter!
Offered fully online for winter, this course offers an introduction to the origins, current dilemmas, and future trends of major issues confronting the global community such as energy and resource depletion, food and population, war and terrorism, nuclear arms, human rights, economic interdependence, and international inequality. The role of global institutions and global citizenship will be considered as they relate to global issues.
