Department of Global Studies and Human Geography
Welcome to Global Studies and Human Geography!
Global Studies and Human Geography prepares you to succeed in an increasingly globalized
world. Our students study global change and the movement of people and resources
in the world, focusing in particular on the spatial aspects of issues, communities,
and cultures. They develop skills in critical thinking and complex analysis, written
and verbal communications, and how to work effectively across cultures – the skills
needed to work and thrive in the modern world. Nearly all of our majors and minors
go abroad during their studies, often on study abroad trips led by our faculty. These
opportunities are life-changing experiences; our students gain confidence, friendships,
and experiences working internationally that allows them to thrive after graduation.
Our students go on to leadership positions in NGOs and non-profits, government, and
business.
I am happy to talk with you about GS+HG to see if it is a good fit for you and your personal goals. Contact me anytime at david.carleton@mtsu.edu.
