Program Description

The major in Global Cultures aims at strategically connecting language and culture skills with fields that warrant good employment prospects – applied intelligence, business, public service, political science, criminal justice, communications, and more. It provides a comprehensive educational experience for students interested in learning about a world that is increasingly diverse, international, and inherently interdependent. In addition to intercultural and multilingual competency, the flexibility of the Global Cultures major makes it possible for students to combine this major with another major or pursue one or two minors in a field of their interest: history, political science, communication, business and much more. Linguistic and cultural competency, in addition to critical thinking, information literacy, and experiential learning skills, will prepare graduates for success in the global and domestic job market.
