Global Studies & Social Impact Abroad
Deepening interconnectedness and globalization requires an interdisciplinary approach to the study of global and international issues. Global studies and social impact offers students the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge needed for engaged global citizenship on the local and world stage. Study abroad allows students to critically explore international interactions between states, societies, cultures, and the environment, and reflect on our individual and collective responses to the outcomes of these complex interactions.
