An interdisciplinary exploration
The Border Studies Option (BRS) within Liberal Studies is a distinct program with its own Lower Division and Upper Division preparation requirements. It offers an interdisciplinary exploration of the communities and territories that emerge in border regions worldwide. The courses that make up the BRS Option systematically examine the human interactions that shape and are shaped by the borders that divide people and places. The curriculum provides an understanding of how border communities are formed and sustained while students explore interrelationships of diverse groups across the cultural, geopolitical, linguistic, and social frontiers that exist in border communities.
