Today, a network of organizations that include government agencies, intergovernmental groups, nonprofit agencies and multinational corporations is increasingly meeting the needs of the global community. As a global studies major at 91Ö±²¥ University, you’ll study how these organizations can best interact, while honing the political, business, cultural and communication skills necessary to succeed in a career with global impact.
