Global Studies (B.A.)

at Hood College

By its very definition, the global studies major is interdisciplinary and draws upon both the humanities and social sciences for its relevant course work. Through partnerships with many academic units of the College, the core purpose of the global studies major is fostering a greater understanding of the interrelationships between countries and cultures.

In keeping with the traditions of a liberal arts education at Hood, we expect our majors to acquire an understanding of cultures that is multi-disciplinary and diachronic; to comprehend the interconnected socio-economic, political and cultural dimensions of global transformation; to obtain competency in a foreign language; and to be exposed to the complexity of global relations through a study abroad experience or relevant internship experience.
