We offer a BA in both Global Studies and Geography (or joint majors/minors).
We opened our doors as a new Department in 2008 with about a dozen majors and minors; we now have almost 200. Students can pursue a BA in Global Studies and/or Geography (or a Pre-Med BA). If you’d like to study abroad, our Spring “European Odyssey,” provides the opportunity to earn a full semester of Global Studies and Geography credits while visiting 14 European countries.
Recently, a leading financial journal named Global Studies among the top 10 majors for “the new economy.” Geography also has become more sought after by employers with its desirability linked to both globalization and the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
We’re willing to help students tailor a program of study that’s right for them and help shape a rewarding post-Hofstra career in our increasingly global future. Please feel free to contact any member of our Department for further information.
We also run an active Facebook Group that posts member discussions, job and internship opportunistic and invitations to Department and University events. The Group can be found at: http://www.facebook.com/groups/20914446655/
