Broaden your understanding of global cultures and workplaces by studying the technologies and global economic activity that draws societies together. Challenge yourself to understand cultures that may differ dramatically from your own and learn to think abstractly, formulate problems, ask appropriate questions, search for objective answers, analyze situations and data, and clearly organize material. You'll develop critical thinking and communication abilities that prepare you to research, write about, and discuss these important social issues on a scholarly level. The global environment in which economics, culture, and technology converge is diverse, changing, complex and interdependent. By combining course work from multiple disciplines, this program provides a framework to understand and effectively negotiate global realities, whether they are economic, political, cultural, or ecological. The program encourages students to apply cultural understanding and explore and develop potential markets for their ideas and talent. Students in this program learn to use global communications and information technologies to conduct and present research. Global Studies majors become knowledgeable in the cultures and practices of the world's communities. Graduates understand the roles that ecology, gender, race, class, religion, and ethnicity play in cultural environments and apply their understanding to everyday interactions among diverse cultures. Graduates also produce a portfolio that enables them to integrate the skills they have acquired and apply them in a culminating project to the solution of a real world problem. This portfolio, which graduates post on a website of their own design, includes course projects and the full-length culminating project.
