Global Studies Minor

Coordinator: Paige Eager

The Global Studies Minor is an interdisciplinary program of study which examines the dynamics of globalization in the world today and their historical foundations. It examines the multiple interconnections of states, regions, economies and societies. It studies the historical, political, commercial, cultural, environmental and technological aspects of this phenomenon. The purpose is to better understand the dynamic forces, both positive and negative, of modern globalization. The study of a foreign language beyond the college requirement is strongly recommended, but not required for the successful completion of the minor.
