Return to Major / Minor
Our major prepares students particularly well for careers in
all fields in which analysis, judgment, argument
and a wide (global) rather than narrow perspective
are important. The Global Cultures major equips students
with a knowledge that is critical to understanding the complexities
of the diverse world in which we live.
 The
following careers are particularly well-suited for our majors:
◊ business (national as well as international)
◊ law
◊ management
◊ education (primary and secondary teaching)
◊ politics
◊ public policy
◊ non-profit organizations
◊ academia
◊ print media
◊ television
◊ foreign service
◊ tourism
◊ travel industry
◊ graduate studies in a wide variety
of
fields (business, law, education, public policy, etc.)
Perhaps nowhere more than in the State of California, the
contemporary workforce is constituted by people who have crossed
geographic and cultural boundaries, and who are embodiments
of the forces of globalization that this major helps students
to understand and appreciate better. Global Cultures majors
are thus particularly sensitive to the challenges and opportunities
presented by the multicultural society of which they are a
part. |
