Division of Humanities & Social Sciences

The Global Studies concentration provides students with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the problems and forces shaping today’s changing world. A cluster of liberal arts courses explore contemporary trends and the historical, social, and economic factors that shape them. In addition, students gain a broad background in the skills of the liberal arts: writing, speaking, critical thinking, and problem solving. The concentration provides a solid background for students interested in transferring to four-year institutions in a variety of majors and for their futures living and working in an increasingly global society.

Upon successful completion, the Associate in Arts Degree in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Global Studies is awarded.
