Undergraduate Certificate in Global Studies


Program Description

The purpose of the Global Studies Certificate is to make students aware of the increasing interconnections, economic, political, social, cultural, historical, technological, and environmental, which have turned our world into a "global village." To meet the challenges of the 21st century, students today must possess a global perspective, being able to communicate in foreign languages, have a capacity to understand different cultures, provide a more refined understanding of world affairs, and able to critically analyze global issues—in other words, to become "globally literate." Students who possess these global skills will be able to successfully meet the global challenges ahead, i.e., be able to competitively bid for a growing number of careers with an international dimension throughout government, industry, and other non-governmental organizations.
