GLOBALIZATION STUDIES
The
Globalization Studies focus on the geography of global changes and how the global
changes come as a result of political, economic, social and environmental processes
at various levels. This program emphasizes the causes of globalization and the
impact of globalization on socioeconomic and political conditions and processes
at the local, state and international level. This program will prepare students
for a career in foreign service, international business or any career where
a knowledge of the factors influencing global changes is essential.
