Program Description

As business goes global, more employers are looking for international experience. If you're interested in gaining an edge, Western Michigan University's global and international studies program is for you. WMU runs one of the largest and oldest transnational education programs and was the first American university to require all students to study the non-Western world. Staying true to its strong international roots, the University offers a global and international studies program that will prepare you to function in a complex global arena. WMU's case-studies approach produces current material, and its broad pool of course offerings allows you to customize your education. Your studies may be focused in one of several different areas, including:

Although not required, it is strongly recommended that you supplement this major with a foreign language minor.
