Lehigh Global Studies

Global Studies at Lehigh University

Global Studies majors are “global thinkers” in every sense. The Global Studies (GS) program provides students with the chance to understand the complex processes of globalization and the multifaceted nature of current global social problems, such as climate change, disease epidemics, refugee crises, and increasing economic inequality. GS is an interdisciplinary program, where students learn directly from professors across fields of history, political science, language, sociology, anthropology, and beyond. The Global Studies major is built around intellectual curiosity, not disciplinary walls.

With a diverse array of courses to choose from, Global Studies is highly flexible, allowing students to tailor the program to match their interests. GS majors and minors acquire analytical skills, research experience, and a breadth of knowledge that enable them to contribute to the rapidly evolving global community. GS has a strong track record of placing graduates in a wide range of exciting positions and graduate programs, including in placements in international business and finance, international organizations, public policy, and research and academia.
