Program details

Overview

Globalization and the Environment is a specialization within Carleton University's Bachelor of Global and International Studies (BGInS) program, offered through the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. The program examines global environmental issues and how the environment has become a central theme of globalization processes. Students study global biophysical systems and human-environment interactions, developing an integrated understanding of environmental patterns and proposed solutions. Elective focus areas include human geography, urban networks, global environmental politics, sustainability, and environmental change. As part of the BGInS structure, students complete a second-language requirement and an international experience component, with a co-op option available. The program combines coursework in environmental studies with the broader international-studies curriculum, preparing graduates for roles in environmental policy, international organizations, sustainability planning, and related fields that require understanding of global environmental governance.
