BA/BS in International Relations and National Security Studies

The Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies is an interdisciplinary degree about how current issues affect people around the world. It blends history, humanities, social sciences, and languages. Students complete core courses, language study, a global experience such as an internship or study abroad, and a focus area. Focus areas include global health and environment and global culture and identities. Study abroad options are available in several countries across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, and students engage with multilingual communities in Detroit. The degree requires a minimum of 120 credits. Graduates are prepared for business, diplomacy, government, healthcare, journalism, law, nonprofit work, research, and teaching. Students can request information, apply, or see an advisor, and the page walks through the topics every major explores, such as globalization and intercultural competence.
