Introduction
The Global Studies Program at Northeastern Illinois University is an interdisciplinary undergraduate program that offers a major leading to the Global Studies B.A. as well as a minor.
In Global Studies classes, students investigate and analyze life in a globalized world from cultural, economic, political, and other perspectives.
The program is organized around five thematic tracks:
- Culture, Society and Identity
- Language, Knowledge and Representation
- Nature, Technology and the Body
- Power, Movements and Political Economy
- Violence, Resistance and Resolution
These tracks transcend traditional disciplinary, topical, and theoretical borders, providing opportunities for creative thinking, critical debate, and novel scholarship.
Through critical analysis of the contemporary world, carried out in coursework and through hands-on research and internship opportunities, students in the program accrue knowledge, scholarly abilities, and practical skills that will prepare them as informed global citizens and members of the 21st century workforce.
