AA，AB或AS学位的全球研究重点将政治，经济学和艺术研究与对文化习俗，信仰和社会制度的分析相结合。学生将学会欣赏和理解世界文化，关注具有全球意义的主题，并开发一种针对国际问题的跨学科方法。选择“全球研究重点”的AA，AB或AS学位的学生可以转学到四年制学校，主修全球/国际研究或包括国际方面在内的各种其他专业。注意：尽管“全球研究重点”并不是任何一所大学的衔接课程，但其中一些课程可能符合进入国际/全球研究的相关专业的先决条件。
Global Studies is a transdisciplinary approach to historical and contemporary globalization, as well as resistance to it. By examining cultures, economies, and politics, the Global Studies Emphasis promotes a complex analysis of international, transnational, and local flows of people, ideas, art, products, and profits. It also provides the academic tools to offer equitable solutions to the planet’s most pressing global challenges. Students who choose an A.A., A.B. or A.S. degree with the Global Studies Emphasis can transfer to a four–year school and major in GlobalInternational Studies or a variety of other specialties that include international aspects. Note: Although the Global Studies Emphasis does not serve as an articulation to any university, several of the courses may meet prerequisites to enter internationalglobal studies–related majors.
