WELCOME TO
GLOBAL STUDIES
Global Studies is an interdisciplinary program focused on global interconnections and integration, as well as inequalities and disruptions, at multiple scales around the world including at home in Tennessee. The Global Studies undergraduate major is administratively housed in the Department of Sociology but is a separate and distinct major from sociology. Students who major in Global Studies will receive a B.A. (or minor) in Global Studies.
Global Studies draws on the expertise of faculty across the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as other colleges. The major brings together faculty and students from diverse perspectives in the social sciences and humanities to help students build an interdisciplinary understanding of the world. Majors choose one of two concentrations, “Global Society and Culture” or “Global Politics and Economy.”
