Global Studies and International Affairs
The Marianopolis Global Studies and International Affairs profile fosters in students civic engagement that is grounded in a culturally relative understanding of issues through field studies in local and international contexts. Flexible and far-reaching in its scope, this profile allows students to choose three of their courses in each of their last two semesters. Students enhance their classroom education near and far, with on-campus talks by on-the-ground experts on international matters and field study in such places as Costa Rica, an ideal location in which to learn about sustainability.
WHO SHOULD TAKE IT?
You if you are passionate about global citizenship, ecology, equity and if you wish to understand and eventually tackle challenges near and far.
WHERE DOES IT LEAD?
This profile prepares students for university studies that address 21st Century global issues and lead to careers such as political analysis and diplomacy.
