You may travel for pleasure, interface with customers or colleagues in another hemisphere or treat patients from diverse cultural backgrounds. No matter your field or career trajectory, a global perspective can only broaden your world.
That’s the philosophy behind the global studies minor, available through the Harpur College of Arts and Sciences. Open to undergraduates of every major, the popular program encourages students to research topics they are passionate about and culminates with a capstone research project that enhances their academic profile.
“The Global Studies minor proves useful in my everyday life, just in terms of looking at issues from perspectives of people I might not have much in common with,” said Jamie Ganz ’16, who studied abroad in the United Kingdom during her time at Binghamton University.
