The Global Cultures program is a forward-thinking undergraduate major within the School of Humanities, dedicated to examining globalization's challenges and developments through a humanistic lens. This major equips students with essential 21st-century analytical abilities and insights crucial for navigating our interconnected world's intricacies. Through this curriculum, students gain valuable knowledge and practical skills that prepare them for diverse professional paths. Faculty deliver engaging lectures and, in upper-level courses, facilitate dynamic small-group discussions. The program embraces an interdisciplinary methodology, integrating expertise from various departments across both Humanities (such as Art History, English, Film and Media Studies, History, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Spanish and Portuguese) and Social Sciences (including Anthropology, Chicano/Latino Studies, Political Science, Sociology).
Current course offerings showcasing the program's diversity are available on the Global Cultures website. The curriculum spans an exceptionally wide range of topics, creating an intellectually vibrant atmosphere that draws students from varied backgrounds. Faculty members help students develop critical perspectives and practical competencies applicable to both domestic and international careers. Global Cultures majors select primary and secondary areas of focus from designated options (accessible under the major tab), each representing a geographic concentration. Students also have the option to create customized emphases with faculty guidance and program approval. All emphasis selections are made in collaboration with academic advisors and require committee endorsement.
