We live in an exciting era of history. The world is becoming a “global village” of many diverse cultures. We can communicate instantly with someone on the other side of the world, and we can travel there in less than a day. America, like most other countries, is becoming increasingly diverse in cultures, religions, and ethnic groups.

That makes our need to know how to engage with other cultures more urgent than ever.

If you want to be able to engage people effectively in the global marketplace, Cross-Cultural Studies is designed for you. This broad program provides a solid foundation in the full spectrum of liberal arts courses, but also provides specific courses in cross-cultural communication, linguistics, comparative worldviews, cultural anthropology, and other globally applicable topics.

This program will give you a foundation for working in personal and professional environments that are international and multi-cultural. The program provides a broad global undergraduate perspective with a goal toward specialization in graduate studies.
