Global Studies and Human Geography prepares you to succeed in an increasingly globalized world. Our students study global change and the movement of people and resources in the world, focusing in particular on the spatial aspects of issues, communities, and cultures. They develop skills in critical thinking and complex analysis, written and verbal communications, and how to work effectively across cultures – the skills needed to work and thrive in the modern world. Nearly all of our majors and minors go abroad during their studies, often on study abroad trips led by our faculty. These opportunities are life-changing experiences; our students gain confidence, friendships, and experiences working internationally that allow them to thrive after graduation. Our students go on to leadership positions in NGOs and non-profits, government, and business.
