Global and International Studies Program

Introduction & Overview 

The degree in Global and International Studies provides a broad understanding of the complexities of globalization that impact economics, politics, social movements, environmental, and culture. Our lives at home, both individually and collectively, are inextricably linked to international developments, and individuals with the skills to participate in this global landscape are increasingly valued in both the public and private sphere. The Global and International Studies (GINS) program at Manhattanville draws from several disciplines in the arts, humanities, languages, and the social sciences and prepares students for careers in government, business, international organizations, NGOs, and other professions. GINS majors find internships with international and non-profit organizations in New York City and beyond. Some recent examples include the International Rescue Committee (IRC), the Virginia Gildersleeve International Fund (VGIF), the Permanent Mission of Costa Rica at the United Nations Office in New York, the Mexico-Israel Chamber of Commerce in Mexico City, and the WINGS WorldQuest, a non-profit organization that recognizes and supports visionary women who are advancing scientific inquiry and environmental conversation.
