The Global Studies major at SDSU is designed to produce graduates who are globally literate, open to diverse societies and cultures, and skilled in a modern, foreign language.  Such majors have a unique opportunity to combine a major or minor in Global Studies with minors in Latin American Studies, European Studies, Global Agriculture, and/or many of the currently existing majors at SDSU.  For example a student wishing to pursue a career in international business may wish to double major in the Modern Language Business-Economics Specialization and Global Studies.  A student wishing to work abroad for a non-governmental organization (NGO) may choose to major in Global Studies and minor in Leadership and Management of Nonprofit Organizations.  Students seeking careers in international diplomacy may wish to major in Global Studies and minor in Political Science.  Students pursuing careers in international agriculture may wish to major in Global Studies and minor in Global Agriculture. 

Regardless of the major or minor designations it is our goal to train students to be globally aware, to think critically, to be conversant in global affairs, to be sensitive to the needs and desires of diverse cultures, to be skilled in a modern, foreign language, and to have the necessary background and tools to analyze global problems in a comprehensive, systems-approach, holistic manner.
