Global and Regional Studies fosters the analytical skills students need to participate as socially responsible global citizens and to operate effectively in a globalized business environment. Embracing a variety of disciplinary perspectives, this concentration combines the deep understandings of cultural and socio-economic developments as the regional level with an exploration of the contours of the global community, especially through understanding global processes that impact specific regions or address specific problems. This concentration is particularly useful for students interested in international consulting and international development. Students interested in global careers can usefully pair this concentration with Entrepreneurship, Environmental Sustainability, Marketing, and Strategic Management.
