• Minor in Global Studies

GENERAL OVERVIEW

The Minor in Global Studies provides students with the opportunity to study international affairs from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Students can choose from an approved list of courses from Economics, History, Liberal Studies, Literature and Writing Studies, Philosophy, Political Science, Visual and Performing Arts, World Languages and Literatures, and Women Studies.

The Minor allows students to specialize in one of five geographic regions: the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, or Sub-Saharan Africa, and one of four global issue areas: Global Security, Global Political Economy and Development, Comparative Global Issues, or Gender in the International System.

The Global Studies Minor will be useful to students pursuing careers in education, international business, international development, international organizations (e.g., United Nations), law, non-governmental organizations focusing on international affairs (e.g., Amnesty International and "think tanks" such as the Heritage Foundation), public service, and graduate study in related fields.
