Global Studies - Santa Barbara City College

Global Studies from Santa Barbara City College is a Campus Associate International studies degree that prepares you for a Science career. Program Description We live in a small world which grows smaller at an accelerated pace. Environmental degradation, globalized trade, rapid development in technology and technology transfer, global conflicts, new international bodies dealing with international law and its application in various areas have all permanently transformed our planet and with it transformed the way we perceive the problems and the solutions needed in this new globalized world. Our mission is to enable students to understand how this global system continues to evolve and to provide the academic background which we believe will prepare them most effectively to cope with and be a part of a very different future. The mission of the Global Studies Program is to enable students to understand how this global system continues to evolve and to provide the academic background which we believe will prepare them most effectively to cope with and be a part of a very different future. Global Studies is an interdisciplinary major because we believe no single academic discipline has all the answers. It attempts to look at global problems from many points of view: History allows us to learn about the evolution of our global civilization. Anthropology and the field of communication let us understand how any given society evolved its own unique set of values and how it communicates them. Economics and business ask us to understand how and why we trade and have become increasingly interdependent. Environmental studies challenges us to explore the global impact of a population explosion and the process of development. Philosophy helps us understand how belief systems compare and contrast. Political science examines the political systems by which global societies are governed and through which global leaders define their national interest and how to achieve it. Foreign languages help us understand other people and communicate more effectively across cultural barriers. We believe that only when these are combined do we really begin to understand this rapidly changing global enterprise, and that's the objective or our program.
