As global systems evolve, thinking and operating on an international level become increasingly important. Global interdependencies—social, economic and political—have powerful implications for us in local, regional and national arenas, and those implications cannot be ignored. In turn, America has powerful impacts on the political, economic and cultural life in other countries.

With this Bachelor of Arts degree, you’ll be prepared to analyze global conditions and work creatively in such fields as:

  • international business
  • local, state and national government
  • nongovernmental organizations (NGOs)
  • foreign service
  • international organizations
  • international and comparative research organizations
  • and more.

Our interdisciplinary program will help you gain a greater understanding of other nations; other populaces; other political, cultural and economic entities—all to equip yourself to lead in the global community.
