Global Studies (Minor)
The Minor in Global Studies will grow your understanding of globalization and our interconnected world. The perspective and insights you'll gain are valuable in a wide variety of fields.
Students can complement their majors with stronger insights into an increasingly interconnected world: how and why so many human activities and interests—including commerce, communication, research and development, cultural interactions, health, security, and politics—have become dispersed around the world, and the challenges and opportunities these trends create for them.
