Global Studies

UWM's Global Studies program is recognized nationally for its comprehensive approach to interdisciplinary globalization studies, combining studying abroad, mastering a foreign language, learning about globalization, and exploring career prospects as interconnected endeavors.

Global Studies students enroll in a series of interdisciplinary courses that focus on globalization's causes, processes, and effects. Through foreign language and overseas studies and internships, they develop critical intercultural communication skills. Additional coursework in their selected professional fields prepares students for a job market in which the ability to function effectively in multicultural and international environments is highly valued.

Jointly sponsored by UWM's College of Letters and Science, Lubar School of Business, School of Architecture and Urban Planning, and School of Information Studies, Global Studies combines the strengths of a liberal arts education with the practical benefits of pre-professional training. It offers a rigorous program that can accommodate a wide range of individual interests and career goals.

Students in any major may complete the Global Studies Minor, which enables them to integrate language study, overseas study, and coursework on globalization into their academic programs. 

Students majoring in Global Studies enroll in one of four pre-professional tracks leading to a Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies.

• Global Studies Major (BA in Global Studies)
  
• Global Studies Minor
