The Minor in Globalization and Cultural Issues

Program Description: The Globalization minor introduces students to the social, cultural, technological and environmental issues surrounding globalization. New information technologies and emerging world markets have accelerated global flows of money, people, and ideas, so that people around the world are increasingly in contact through integrated but highly volatile world networks. The resulting globalization presents people and nations with a startling array of possibilities and problems, and most human enterprises and problems now have significant global dimensions.
