Global studies focuses on global and cross-cultural issues, trends and relations. The major does so by using numerous academic disciplines’ approaches from both the social sciences and the humanities. In order to enhance cross-cultural skills and global awareness, majors are required to either study abroad for a semester or complete an internationally oriented internship. The global studies major prepares students for careers requiring cross-cultural and global awareness, including careers in international organizations, internationally focused government agencies, charities, schools or businesses through a factual understanding of global issues, trends and relations.
