Douglas Heffington, Director
The objectives of the interdisciplinary major in Global Studies are to prepare students to make effective decisions as global citizens; induce and nurture global and international perspectives in students as they pursue various academic majors and career goals; and increase academic opportunities for undergraduate students to study, learn, and explore cultural and physical environments other than their own.
Global Studies courses are selected from over 100 courses in five colleges at MTSU. The primary goal of the Global Studies major is to broaden the world perspective of students and prepare them for the global marketplace.
