It provides students with the opportunity to explore connections among issues in socioeconomic and political development, the environment, and global justice. The program offers students significant opportunities for applying knowledge and solving problems concerning complex global phenomena through internships with a variety of organizations both in the United States and abroad. It favors intercultural understanding by requiring significant coursework in foreign languages. Finally, it provides students with skills in critical systems thinking and conflict resolution, and develops individual moral responsibility by emphasizing the connection between the social and moral outlook on a global scale.
