The Global Studies majoris designed to attract students who are preparing for academic, government, nonprofit, or business careers with an international focus and who value the benefits of study abroad and of cross-cultural learning. The program is organized around courses drawn from three thematic tracks and area studies:
- international political economy
- transnational processes
- area and civilization studies.
Students are required to study abroad for at least one quarter and gain proficiency in a foreign language. Students in Global Studies?which was recently ranked seventh in the U.S. by Foreign Policy magazine?can take advantage of a new EU-focused quarter at UChicago?s Center in Paris.
Since its founding in 1968 as the Adlai Stevenson Institute for International Affairs, the University of Chicago Center for International Studies (CIS) has been encouraging and supporting research and education on critical global and international issues, including national security, human rights, the environment, international relations, and area studies.
