Bachelor's Degree
The Global Studies PhD offers an interdisciplinary approach for examining worldwide challenges including conflicts, migration, human rights, environmental conservation, cultural globalization, diaspora communities, and socioeconomic development. This doctoral program incorporates field research as a core component, mandates proficiency in a foreign language, and culminates with a dissertation. Designed to cultivate academic researchers and educators in Global Studies, the program welcomes applicants without requiring a prior Master's degree in the field. Admission to UCSB's Global Studies MA program does not guarantee entry into the PhD track.
