Global Studies
The Global Studies pathway provides students an opportunity to explore how global and transnational
processes bring people together across the globe. It prompts students to examine how their lives affect
and are affected by globalization. Through interdisciplinary coursework students will be introduced to
definitions of globalization and key concepts related to globalizing trends. Students will explore political,
economic, and socio-cultural aspects of contemporary globalization, the historical antecedents of
globalization, and the diverse consequences of globalization including how it influences traditional
culture, identity, media, markets, the boundaries and power of nation-states, and the environment.
