Global Studies is the cross-disciplinary study of the behavior of nations, states and other international actors (e.g. international governmental and non-governmental organizations and regimes). It examines their relationships with one another, their conflicts and their attempts at collective efforts for global order. The major provides a theoretical and applied understanding of global actors and their activities.

In addition, it provides an opportunity to cultivate an awareness of the diversity and interdependence of the international community. The courses included in the program are drawn from several departments and colleges of the university. They aim to provide an integrated study of the global society and diverse perspectives on the human condition.

The primary objective of the program is to offer an opportunity for students to become knowledgeable in international affairs, while obtaining a solid liberal arts education. The minor offers a more limited, but still cross-disciplinary exposure to the actors and issues in international affairs.
