Bachelor of Arts
The Global History option is designed to offer students a strong foundation for understanding the relational forces between continents and the historical process of globalization. Colonialism, imperialism, anticolonial independence movements and the national and transnational effects they cause are additional areas of study. This option prepares students for investigating issues of globalization, such as the impact of colonization and aggressive imperial expansion on dominated territories and their history.
