In the Global Studies Program, students acquire global competence - the capacity to engage effectively and critically with globalization and its implications for individuals, communities, governments, businesses, and other organizations. Through interdisciplinary coursework, foreign language learning, and global experiences, students develop theoretical and historical knowledge about globalization, the ability to behave and communicate appropriately across cultural differences, research skills to investigate issues from a global perspective, the capacity to combine multiple disciplines to solve problems of global significance, and an ethics of global citizenship. Upon graduation, our students can apply their global competence in careers like diplomacy, international business, foreign aid, journalism, immigration affairs, and environmental protection.
