INTERNATIONAL AND GLOBAL STUDIES

Ferradáns, Director

The International and Global Studies (IGS) Major is interdisciplinary in orientation; it is designed to bring the knowledge of several disciplines to address the world’s most pressing problems. The IGS major advances the University’s educational mission by preparing students to live and work as responsible global

citizens in an increasingly interconnected, yet culturally diverse society plagued by systems of inequality and inequity. Given a world characterized by rapid, overlapping, complex, and sometimes conflictual flows of people, technologies, goods, money, and cultures, we must be able to place our lives and experiences in the context of this dynamic human community. To this end, the IGS program is designed to serve the educational and career needs of students who are interested in studying the relationships between global problems and regional dynamics, and who are planning careers in international business, education, journalism and media, or working with international agencies of the public and private sectors, international organizations, and foundations.

The International and Global Studies minors are designed for students who are interested in studying global and regional problems from an interdisciplinary perspective. It is recommended for students who would like to enhance or supplement their liberal arts or pre-professional major with an international background. Students can pursue one of two minors in either Asian Studies or International Relations and Global Development. At least two courses taken in each minor must be at the 300-400 level or equivalent. The IGS program has three core learning goals: 1) Enrich students’ comprehension and appreciation of the global human community through the analysis of transnational, international, or global phenomena; 2) Enlighten students about the lived experiences of people who occupy different parts of the globe, but who are connected to each other through webs of ecology, history, communication, disparities of power, and at the same time the moral bonds of a common humanity; 3) Encourage students to think about the interconnectedness of our fates across the globe, and about their own place in a globalized world through a variety of analytical lenses.
