Global Studies is the introductory freshman course in Social Studies that helps students develop critical thinking skills through the understanding, application and analysis of the fundamental concepts of geography through inquiry. This course will provide students with a geographic view of the world through the use of readings, maps, charts and graphs to better understand the larger world and their place in it. Students will analyze and evaluate the connection between their place in the world and the experiences of those in the global community. They will also learn the methods and tools geographers use in their science and practice to better understand the importance of location.
