Global Studies

Are you amazed by how interconnected the world has become? Do you wonder how nations, institutions, and people have built global relationships that affect the ways we communicate, conduct business, and shape our politics? If so, the global studies program might be the perfect fit for you.   

Allan Hancock College’s global studies provides students with a strong base of knowledge, methods, and practical skills in the areas of social, political, economic, environmental, and cultural dimensions of globalization processes.
