Global Studies

Program Overview

Our interdisciplinary program allows you to attain broad knowledge and multiple perspectives of global themes with the help of accomplished faculty representing 10 disciplines across fields of knowledge in Anthropology, History, Languages, Legal Studies, Political Science, Economics, and Sociology.  

• Engage with prominent scholars with diverse scholarly backgrounds who share their distinctive expertise with you.
• Organize your plan of study around your interests as you learn perspectives on important global themes such as the environment, indigeneity, inequality, health, human rights, migration, peace and protest, and politics and governance.
• Learn a foreign language, study abroad, design and develop your own independent research project on public policy, and work in a dynamic internship, including in a faculty-supervised internship or in a semester-long internship in Washington, D.C., available through the partnership between Bryant University and The Washington Center.
• Succeed both in the public and private sector or in graduate school. We have alumni who have gone on to found non-profits, travel the world working for the United Nations and U.S. Department of State, earn graduate degrees, and drive public knowledge at policy institutes. 

• A strong foundation integrating business, STEM fields and the liberal arts develops critical 21st century skills essential for success and continuous growth in every field.
• Every student graduates with a major and a complementary minor, gaining a competitive advantage that highlights the acumen and problem-solving abilities cultivated through experiential learning.
• Whether you begin a career or continue your education after graduation, Bryant credentials prepare impact thinkers who are in high demand and prepared to contribute and make a difference.
