Inspiring Students to Engage in Critical Issues

Our Global Studies Program inspires students to engage with and understand critical issues at home and abroad, and prepares them for the wider, more complicated world.
Through a variety of educational opportunities across the country and around the globe, students' current views of the world are challenged and expanded upon. These immersive experiences provide students with a better grasp of how they see the world and how the world sees them. Companies today seek out employees who can think globally, who have been exposed to and engaged with the world beyond their own, and who can comfortably navigate diversity with empathy and a strong ability to forge connections.
