Global Studies at Temple An interdisciplinary program at Temple University focusing on global cultures, security, and economy.

The world is increasingly globalized, with goods, services, people, and ideas traveling across borders more, and more quickly, than ever before. Temple University and its College of Liberal Arts are also globalizing, offering students a wide array of majors in the social sciences, humanities, and area studies programs in Asian and Latin American studies. The Global Studies Program, established in Fall 2015, is the latest step in the globalization of the College of Liberal Arts. Starting Fall 2015, Temple undergraduates can declare a major in Global Studies – an interdisciplinary program bringing together coursework from across a dozen departments, focused on the study of Global Security, Global Economy, and Global Cultures, and complemented by intensive language instruction and study abroad options. Beyond the Global Studies major and minor, the new Global Studies Program will serve as a focal point for all things global at CLA.
