Major

Global Studies is designed to be a challenging, interdisciplinary, major that provides students with an understanding of processes and prob- lems that transcend national boundaries. Global Studies majors investigate interconnections that have emerged through global historical processes, transnational mobilities and identities, supranational norms, laws, and institutions, as well as the dissemination of ideas, belief sys- tems, literatures, and arts across borders. Global studies majors also investigate global causes and consequences of division, fragmentation, and conflict.

At UCR, Global Studies majors are expected to master general theoretical and historical litera- tures on global cultural and economic process- es, while pursuing tailored expertise on a specific region or thematic area, such as global heath and the spread of disease, human rights and the politics of migration, global arts and media, global economic systems of trade and finance, or sustainability and environmental politics.
