About this Program
The place within Hood College where disciplines merge, the realities of the world are confronted and where knowledgeable, engaged citizens of the world come of age.
Program Overview
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.
The global studies major curriculum includes a minimum of 37-46 credit hours. Students must take a minimum of 15 credit hours at the 300 level or above for successful completion of the major.
