UNDERSTAND TODAY'S WORLD — BECOME A GLOBAL CITIZEN

The Global Studies major enables students to succeed in an increasingly globalized society by exposing them to the political and cultural foundations of global issues. Our majors develop an analytical approach to critical issues that appear across national boundaries and cultural regions — examining them from a variety of disciplines. This integrated interdisciplinary program of study prepares majors for a broad range of career paths including government and international business or in international health, humanitarian, environmental, development and other types of non-governmental agencies.

Global Studies asks you to look critically at transnational trends, patterns and challenges. The four Global Studies concentrations — Environment, Health, Migration and World Cultures — enable you to focus on your area of interest. To complete these concentrations, you choose from a wide array of courses spanning departments and colleges across the University of Delaware and examining numerous world regions and cultures. Study abroad and internships are strongly encouraged. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the Global Studies major lends itself to double majoring or minoring in related disciplines.
