Description
The minor provides a focused view of global processes through the critical examination from a variety of disciplinary perspectives of the world’s institutions, ideas, cultures, and historical traditions. Students develop the ability to examine the global and local repercussions of current social, cultural, political, and economic developments in the world by applying a variety of methods from the sciences, humanities, and social sciences. The curriculum encourages students to become engaged researches in the global flows of commodities, knowledge, and people, and their impact over existing social, economic, and political inequalities. The minor is open to all undergraduates regardless of academic major or place of residence. As part of the minor students should choose a Global Interaction Area and a Specialized Global Issue Track. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in study abroad programs. With the approval of the program advisor, credits earned for courses taken abroad may count toward fulfillment of the minor. In addition, the minor is part of the Undergraduate Academy for Globalization Studies and International Relations. Students are encouraged to actively participate in enrichment opportunities offered by the Academy.
