Global Cultural Studies - Point Park University

Global Cultural Studies from Point Park University is a Campus Bachelor International studies degree that prepares you for a Science career. It has become well-recognized that we now live in a global community. What???s less appreciated, perhaps, is that it takes much more than technology and business skills to be an effective agent in that community. It takes global wisdom. It takes cultural capital. The bachelor of arts in global cultural studies serves as a progressive alternative to the more specialized programs currently en vogue. This new humanities-based, cross-disciplinary major provides graduates with: an understanding of the complexities of the world in which we live, grounded in a familiarity with its historical, philosophical, political, social, cultural, aesthetic, and environmental elements; and the critical thinking and communication skills needed to make agile, confident and informed decisions. The B.A. provides a broad foundation for students hungry for knowledge in the traditional university disciplines but who also see the necessity of confronting new global issues and realities. Graduates will be well prepared for the emerging transnational careers as well as careers in education, international development, international organizations (e.g. United Nations), law, non-governmental organizations focusing on international affairs (e.g. Amnesty International), journalism, public service, civil service and community organizing. Majors in GCS are encouraged to use their 18 elective credits for a minor in one of the following: psychology; environmental health; civil engineering; public administration. Students are also encouraged to spend a semester abroad. View more details on Point Park University .
