ACADEMIC MAP: Map: CSN AA Global Studies
DESCRIPTION
The Global Studies program is predicated on the notion that solutions to local, national, and international issues are found not within the confines of a particular field, but at the boundaries and within the union of disciplines. This implies that the program is interdisciplinary. Gaining an understanding of global social, economic, political, historical systems which are anchored in the differing philosophical and religious traditions will help the student appreciate the commonality of all human aspirations irrespective of location. The meaning of “globalization” and related issues will be addressed from a variety of perspectives. Students will explore approaches to international development and related contemporary issues, inquire into the meaning of sustainable development, and critically examine environmental concerns (with emphasis on global warming and climate change). The appreciation of diversity of human cultures and traditions is the core value which enables program graduates to work and succeed in our global society.
