Why Consider a Global Studies Minor?
A Global Studies Minor can complement any major and is customizable to individual student interests and professional goals. Through a blend of classroom and experiential learning, students develop perspective, knowledge, and critical thinking skills relevant to living, working, and thriving responsibly in our shared world.
