- Description
- The mission of the Global Studies program is to help students understand trans-national phenomena and to provide them with a solid background for decision-making in an increasingly interdependent world community. Students are encouraged to connect their knowledge of a particular region of the world to larger transnational processes and to examine their identities in a global frame. The interdisciplinary Minor in Global Studies helps students develop skills to function in a global market and the depth of understanding necessary to be responsible citizens of planet Earth.
