Center for Global Studies at UCSB (continued)

The Center for Global Studies' primary objective is to promote globally-oriented, multi-disciplinary research and training in the social sciences and humanities, including both basic and policy oriented research, by studying the transnational processes which are increasingly central to understanding the world as an integrated economic, political, social, cultural, and environmental system.

Wittenberg Global Studies Program

The Global Studies program is designed to enhance the international dimension of the curriculum, primarily through the provision of a minor in Global Studies. The Global Studies program focuses on three major areas: the study of non-Western cultures, an understanding of comparative socio-cultural analysis, and a concern with globally-relevant issues and themes, especially as understood within an analysis of the global system. The student is expected to seek a significant cross-cultural experience, normally through participation in a study-abroad program.

A student of any academic major can profit from the international dimension provided by the Global Studies minor. It can thus strengthen preparation for the international aspects of business, social and religious service, politics and policy formation, and education. It also provides an interdisciplinary foundation for specialized graduate study.
