The School of Global Studies at Arizona State University will examine global issues from the perspective of an overarching theme of Quality of Life. Our working groups will be organized around key current research and teaching themes and will be composed of core Global Studies faculty as well as affiliated faculty from throughout the University. The working groups will integrate research and teaching, breaking down barriers between the academic and the non-academics, creating an atmosphere rich in intellectual vibrancy.
In addition to its undergraduate degree, the School will offer a Master of Advanced Studies degree in Global Studies pending approval by the Arizona Board of Regents, providing professional training to future decision-makers in government, business, non-governmental organizations and policy bodies.
