About Global and International Studies (BA Program)
Our world is rapidly globalizing, bringing exciting opportunities and daunting challenges. Global and International Studies, hereafter referred to as Global Studies, seeks to tackle this brave new world in all its complexity. We train students to be global citizens, global thinkers, and global problem-solvers, and prepare them for global careers in academia, business, government, and the non-profit sector, among others. A unique feature of our program is that we train students in foreign languages. Language is the entry-point for understanding the world’s cultures and equips students for studying and working abroad.
Global Studies is a holistic and timely field of study whose scope is the whole Earth and whose eyes are on the future, aiding a global transformation toward healthy, just, peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable societies for all. The focus of our program is on the ‘big picture,’ international to global. Students emerge from our program with knowledge of the macro-level structures, actors, processes, ideas, issues, and events shaping our planet and its societies. This is accomplished in multi-disciplinary, multi-perspective, local-to-global, and critical ways of thinking.
The curriculum is organized around four themes:
- Global environment and sustainability
- Global cultures and diversity
- Global governance and social justice
- Global political economy and development.
Students take courses in each theme, learn to integrate across themes, and can focus on one or more themes if they so choose. Special attention is given to British Columbia’s immediate international neighbouring regions: Asia-Pacific, Circumpolar North, and the Americas.
Courses:
To give students a solid and well-rounded foundation in the social sciences and humanities, the IASK (Integrated Analytical Skills & Knowledge) program is integrated into the Global and International Studies major. In addition to IASK (which consists of 6 courses and 18 credit hours taken over two semesters), 63 credit hours of Global and International Studies coursework are required, of which 21 credit hours are at the lower-division (100/200) level, 30 credit hours are at the upper-division (300/400) level, and 12 credit hours are in foreign language study. Thus, a grand total of 81 credit hours is required for the Global and International Studies major.
The minimum requirement for completion of a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Global and International Studies is 120 credit hours.
