In an interconnected world in which societies depend upon one another, failures in understanding and appreciating differences in goals, values and ways of life can lead to fear, discrimination, oppression, and war. The subfields of biological anthropology, archaeology, and sociocultural anthropology explore human evolution and the emergence of culture, cultural differences and similarities, regional history and ecology, and the role of language in culture.

The Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies promotes an understanding of globalization and its impact on human and physical landscapes.  Geography serves as the foundational disciplinary lens through which globalization is studied and other disciplinary perspectives supplement this greater understanding of the global system.  As globalization has (re)created the spaces and places of the world, it is vital for students to understand the spatial dimension of globalization and its impact on individuals and communities around the world.  Students will gain a better understanding how the social, political and economic realms of human life have been impacted by globalization.  The program also explores how the interaction between the environment and humans has been and continues to be impacted by globalization.
