Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies

Program Overview

LIU Global offers a BA degree in Global Studies, a discipline that investigates the world’s interdependent political, economic, cultural, and ecological systems. Global Studies equips future leaders with tools to address challenges that transcend national and disciplinary boundaries, preparing them to develop solutions at the local, national, regional, and global levels. LIU Global organizes its curriculum around six issues that pose the greatest challenges to human wellbeing:

  • Economic inequality, poverty, and access to livelihoods
  • Social inequality: gender, race, ethnicity, and human development
  • Climate change, clean energy, and environmental degradation
  • Urbanization and sustainable human settlements
  • War, conflict, and displaced peoples
  • Justice, discrimination, and human rights

LIU Global teaches students how these challenges take different forms in different locations, thereby developing skills in adaptation and empathy as each locale articulates the particularity of its engagement with these issues. By addressing each issue through multiple lenses, students gain the skills in analysis and problem-solving that these complex challenges demand. Four lenses make up the core of LIU Global’s analytical method:

  • Environmental
  • Political
  • Cultural
  • Economic
