In our globalized world, it is important for students to cultivate the skills and knowledge needed to navigate through the complex, border-crossing movements affecting diverse communities. The global studies major is a broad, interdisciplinary program with subject areas like cultures and languages, political science, history and geography that builds a deep understanding of and appreciation for shared histories, different cultural practices and customs, and interdependent social, political and economic processes that shape the world. Students are training with the cross-cultural and linguistic competencies necessary to understand and engage with the urgent issues of today's world. This program builds on Webster's strength as a global university and our multiple campuses around the world, such as Geneva, Switzerland and others.
