The degree in Global and International Studies provides a broad understanding of the complexities of globalization that impact economics, politics, social movements, environment, and culture. Our lives at home, both individually and collectively, are inextricably linked to international developments, and individuals with the skills to participate in this global landscape are increasingly valued in both the public and private sphere. The Global International Studies (GINS) Program at Manhattanville draws from several disciplines in the arts, humanities, languages, and the social sciences and prepares students for careers in government, business, international organizations, NGOS, or other professions. GINS majors find internships with international and non-profit organizations in New York City and beyond. Some recent examples include the International Rescue Committee (IRC), the Virginia Gildersleeve International Fund (VGIF), the Permanent Mission of Costa Rica at the UN Office in New York, the Mexico-Israel Chamber of Commerce in Mexico City, and WINGSWorldQuest, a non-profit organization that recognizes and supports visionary women who are advancing scientific inquiry and environmental conservation.
Manhattanville’s International Studies Program is flexible: While you will build a basic knowledge of the political, economic and cultural aspects of global issues, you will also have room to select a concentration reflecting your own interests. You can focus on a particular area of the world, on global economic and political issues, or even design your own course of study.
Gregory Swedberg, Professor of Latin American History and Director of the Center for Global and International Studies provides an overview of the department, classes, job opportunities, and more!
