International Studies
part of mission statement: Humans and their institutions emerge from the earth, but now exercise troubled dominion over it. In this context, and in the context of Macalester‟s internationalist commitments, we aim to educate cosmopolitan young people, across geographies and fields, strongly equipped and powerfully inclined to understand the world and seek positive change. Key concepts which animate our interdisciplinary venture include universalism, globalization, hybridity, diversity, and interconnection. (social, economic, environmental)
Geography
goal: Can apply theories and skills to issues concerning people, places and environments at local to global scales. (social, environmental)
goal: Appreciate diversity of people and places, the integration of places on the surface of the earth, and the spatial processes that affect contemporary society. (social, environmental, economic)
outcome: Understand how specific places experience large scale processes (social, economic, environmental)
outcome: Explain how different places are connected through particular geographic processes (social, economic, environmental)
