Formerly known as international studies, global studies is an interdisciplinary major. What this means is that students can tailor majors to their own specific interests. Global studies provides an excellent general education for students interested in the complex interrelationships (political, economic, social, and cultural) of our interdependent modern world. The program offers students tools to make sense of a fast-changing global arena; it ensures the practical application of their research; and it immerses them in the language, history, and culture of a major world region.

The Asian Studies program explores a dynamic region encompassing the second and third largest world economies, more than a quarter of the globe’s population, and some of the oldest civilizations. This interdisciplinary major allows students to focus on  China,  Japan, Korea, or with an outside language study, pursue a special interdisciplinary minor in East Asian Studies, South Asian Studies, or Southeast Asian Studies.
