In the 21st century, every issue is global. 任何决定, whether made by a government or a 业务, has potentially wide-ranging international impacts. We are interconnected, tangled and interdependent. The economy in southeast Wisconsin can be affected by events in Asia; the air we breathe by Canadian environmental regulations; and even our health by the appearance of a strange new micro-organism in the Tropics. The challenges seem larger than ever and the world smaller. Our global studies program helps students understand the complex relationships at work and become adept at finding solutions to challenging issues.
“My courses have prepared me for the interconnectedness of our world.”
— Hailey Von Dross '20
