Why Minor in Global Studies?

Champlain is committed to ensuring that every student receives an education that includes a global perspective. Through our 15-credit Global Studies minor, students can design their own program, including their Core and travel abroad experiences, in a way that emphasizes and extends the globally aware, culturally diverse, and critically sophisticated aspect of their education.

  • Act locally, while thinking as a global citizen.
  • Explore current issues, history, and languages of specific regions and countries around the world.
  • Engage deeply with theories and perspectives on cultural diversity including race, class, gender, and nationality within local and global contexts. 
  • Analyze political, economic, and social dynamics of globalization that will impact you in your professional life and future career.
  • Critically reflect on your social, cultural, and intellectual experiences while studying abroad through an interdisciplinary examination of the concept of global citizenship in the Global Studies Senior Seminar.
