Minor in Global Studies

The minor in global studies is designed to provide an international perspective on culture, history, politics, and societies. Students may tailor the minor to their interests, choosing courses focusing on a particular region, courses involving multiple regions, or courses examining society and culture at the global or system level. This is an ideal minor for students in majors such as business, English, history, media and communications, political science, and psychology, as well as for students pursuing the B.A. or B.S. in interdisciplinary studies.
