专业介绍

Global studies is an interdisciplinary curriculum that brings together diverse perspectives and frameworks to analyze the complex relationships between local, national, and global structures. 

The Curriculum in Global Studies provides students with the necessary knowledge and skills to develop effective and innovative responses to some of today’s most critical global challenges — such as racial and gender injustice, economic inequality, increasing war and conflict, migration and displacement, and environmental crisis — by training them in a variety of methodologies drawn from multiple academic disciplines and supporting them with internationally renowned faculty across more than ten departments at UNC.

Students choose from one of five thematic areas:

  1. International Politics, Nation States, and Social Movements
  2. Global Economics, Trade, and Development
  3. Global Health and Environment
  4. Transnational Cultures, Identities, and Arts
  5. Global Justice and Liberation
