ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ

Our mission is to provide rigorous liberal arts offerings organized in a way that demonstrates the pedagogical usefulness and theoretical power of bringing various relevant disciplines to bear upon our study of the world. Our goal is to allow students to engage with and comprehend broad global concerns and to foster specific regional expertise including proficiency in relevant languages. We aim to prepare students to change the world by understanding it more deeply and prepare them for the job market by acquiring knowledge and skills demanded of 21st-century graduates. 

Global Studies (GS) exposes students to global issues, problems, cultures, and relations through an integrated and interdisciplinary curriculum based in the liberal arts. GS students use the lenses of the humanities, social sciences, business, international experiences, and internships to understand the world they live in. They will divide their time between ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ’s campuses in Maine and Morocco, with additional opportunities to spend semesters in Spain and/or France. The major prepares students to assume leadership roles in the fields of government, business, tourism, law, non-profits, consulting and a variety of other professions.

At least two full semesters abroad or one semester abroad plus twelve credits of ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ travel courses are required for this major.
