Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies (Co-op) - Global Justice and Human Rights

Drexel's Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Global Studies degree program teaches students to see the world differently as they learn essential skills needed to understand the impact of global political, social, economic and environmental dynamics. This experiential, interdisciplinary and language-based major immerses students in issues and emerging movements such as clean energy, climate action, economic growth, health equity, international relations and other challenges. With opportunities to explore international study, hands-on work experiences and civic engagement –both at home and abroad– students learn to connect language and culture across academic disciplines. Drexel students are encouraged to examine how the U.S. and other countries fit into broad, worldwide systems so they can better develop an international perspective.Global Studies majors choose from one of four different degree concentrations, a required language or regional studies minor, and optional courses and certificates specially designed to deepen their knowledge and to prepare them to pursue careers across many different sectors: business, economics, law, policy, public health, and media — as well as in non-profit, government, and international organizations. Academically qualified majors are eligible for accelerated degree programs in business administration, international education, communications, or public health where they can earn a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree concurrently.The Global Justice and Human Rights concentration is ideal for students interested in careers related to defense; local, state, national and international government affairs; intelligence; law; social justice and human rights. Lawyers, international aid workers, human rights advocates, experts in non-violent conflict resolutions, and related professions require the language skills, regional specialization and social science foundation provided by this concentration. Students explore current global issues such as the growth of international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), international peacekeeping, and the interplay of global security and justice.
