The minor in international and global studies is an interdisciplinary minor offered under the auspices of the Department of Geography in the School of Arts and Sciences, but is open to all Rutgers University students. The minor promotes an interdisciplinary understanding of global processes and relationships between places, while fostering specialization in a particular world region and its language(s). The purpose of the minor is to prepare our students to meet the challenges of the 21st century, including appreciating human difference from multiple disciplinary perspectives and grappling with questions of social justice.
