BA Global Liberal Studies

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

New York University

Program Overview

The Global Liberal Studies (GLS) Bachelor of Arts is an interdisciplinary program that examines the causes, consequences, and nature of globalization from its beginnings in the ancient world to the present. GLS is distinguished by its humanistic emphasis; it focuses on understanding the political, social, and cultural ramifications of living in a world of intersecting local, national, and global forces. GLS students are trained in strategic thinking by engaging in interdisciplinary study of the entire world as an interconnected system, and they get practical experience living and working across cultures through a required junior year at an NYU global site. GLS students focus their work in a particular area of expertise during the junior and senior year, preparing them for more advanced studies or work in such fields as international finance, global media, and human rights.
