Global Studies PhD Approved!

The Global and International Studies Program at UC Santa Barbara now offers a PhD in Global Studies. The interdisciplinary Doctorate in Global Studies is a cutting-edge program designed to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

The Doctoral curriculum includes three areas of specialization: 1) global political economy, sustainable development, environment 2) global culture, ideology, and religion and 3) global governance, human rights, and civil society (see attached flyer below).
