Choose a Track to focus your studies:

Study literature, music, art, humanities, and more from all around the globe! Participating in twenty-first century society means acquiring knowledge of the world and connecting with other people. Regional and international topics will enable you to engage with customs and behaviors from various communities. The Global Cultures track is sure to prepare you for communication, research, and business on a global scale.

Whether you’re preparing for a law career, diplomacy, humanitarian work, or international trade, the Global Politics and Institutions track will help you become a leader. These classes will help you develop skills that are relevant across industries and roles. Learn how to analyze complex situations and approach problems from multiple perspectives. You can make a positive global impact.

The Asian Studies track pairs well with Japanese and Chinese classes, giving you a deeper understanding of East Asian culture and politics. Focusing on this specific area of the world is an advantage for anyone with ambitions of working with East Asian companies and culture. Many students start with little or no background in Asian cultures so our courses will help solidify a basic foundation upon which you can build.

Whether you’re more interested in local journalism, medieval literature, twentieth century history, or modern politics, the European Studies track has classes for you. In-depth study will train you for well-informed thinking and communication. Problem-solving within a wide variety of fields requires interdisciplinary thinking and collaboration. European Studies will help you positively contribute to your field.

Study history, literature, politics, language, and environmental science in the Latin American Studies track. Engage with rich cultures and gain the most marketable skills in your field. This track will provide you with critical language skills and cultural competency that progress careers in public service, business, humanitarian work, health care, and law.
