INTERNATIONAL & GLOBAL STUDIES: EUROPE

 

INTERNATIONAL & GLOBAL STUDIES: EUROPE
Center and South Campuses

The borders of Macomb County, the State of Michigan, and even the United States are no longer barriers to, but opportunities for, residents to cross. The world is smaller than ever before…not by physical size, but by the ability to connect, talk, share information, or do business with people from all over the world in the blink of an eye. Having a degree or certificate in International and Global Studies will position students to succeed and advance in a rapidly changing world. Graduates from this program can transfer courses to 4-year institutions, whether to continue in global studies or other related fields.
