Overview
APU’s global studies major equips students to make a difference in the world. The degree is designed to foster student growth. Students create an individual learning plan that moves them through increasingly broader levels of involvement and experience; from university, to local community, to inner city Los Angeles, to global learning. On-campus, students study world geography, global engagement, and anthropology. Then, students move into the L.A. Term, where coursework covers community organization and social change, urban religious movements, and the dynamics of L.A.’s immigrant population.
The final element of the curriculum involves a global learning experience, where students courses while they study the economic, social, religious, intellectual, and political environment of a foreign country. APU global studies majors leave APU prepared and ready to make an impact on the global community.
