Concentrations

Within Concordia College’s interdisciplinary global studies program, you’ll find courses and professors that challenge you to look at the world from both a global and regional perspective. All global studies majors choose either a thematic or regional concentration tailored to their interests and career goals. Study abroad is encouraged, but not required, for each of the concentrations.
