Charles T. McDowell Center for Global Studies – Minor and Certificate Program

Overview

The Global Studies Minor and Global Studies Certificate promote understanding of global processes and awareness of the responsibilities of global citizenship in order to prepare students to meet the challenges of the 21st century and achieve success in the complex social, political, economic, and cultural environment of the world today.
