Deepening interconnectedness and globalization requires an interdisciplinary approach to the study of global and international issues. Global studies and social impact offers students the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge needed for engaged global citizenship on the local and world stage. The global studies and social impact major allows students to critically explore interactions between states, societies, cultures, and the environment, and reflect on our individual and collective responses to the outcomes of these complex interactions. A particular emphasis of the program is on social transformation and social change to prepare students to be leaders in their communities and the world.
Participating programs: Area and global studies programs, including African and African American studies, East Asian studies, Latin American studies, and Middle East studies
