Your Senior Capstone will allow you to design, produce, and present a research project of your choice as a display of your cumulative learning in Global Studies. Rather than send you around the world to obtain a global perspective, we bring the world to you. Our facilities incorporate cutting-edge telecommunications and computers so that you can connect with the broader world on a daily basis through the wonders of technology. The surrounding Monterey region presents a global community as unbounded as the Pacific Ocean to our west. Built through a variety of cultural influences and sustained by global industries such as agriculture, tourism, and technology, ours is a region where the daily view is a world panorama.
Students choose their own faculty advisor from the three fulltime faculty members in the program.
As students move through the program in cohorts, they benefit from both peer advising and a peer support network. A Global Studies degree could launch you toward a successful career in an international arena such as trade, development, government and diplomacy, law and arbitration, education, media and journalism, health services, information and communications, urban and regional planning, cultural affairs, tourism and hospitality, relief services, translation and interpretation, human resources, environmental protection, cultural exchange, or research. A Global Studies degree will provide you with broad-based preparation for graduate studies in international studies, cultural studies, economics, political science, environmental studies, policy studies and women's studies.
