Minor Only
The minor in global studies is an interdisciplinary program whose purpose is to enhance students' understanding of issues resulting from an increasingly interdependent world. The global studies program provides students pursuing a bachelor's degree an opportunity to broaden their intellectual horizon beyond their chosen major and achieve a more integrated vision of contemporary global problems, alternative conceptions of global society and relevant strategies for moving toward a more just and humane world order.
