Associate of Arts - Social Sciences - Global Studies - Transfer to a California State University

Laney College's Global Studies program emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of globalization and contemporary global issues. Students will study the interactions between states, societies, and cultures and will analyze the historical origins of these interactions. Through this program students will develop a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of global and local events that shape the world people live in. Students will critically evaluate global changes and their consequences and will learn how to apply their knowledge to become agents of change. Courses throughout the program will highlight and feature topics related to social and environmental justice in particular, and more broadly to the advances and challenges posed by globalization.
