Bachelor [Global Studies] From Ripon College

Students who will live the bulk of their lives in the 21st century must be prepared to take advantage of the many new opportunities for cooperation and mutually beneficial partnerships which transcend national boundaries.

They also must understand that global compression and radical increases in mobility ? of people, resources and information ? simultaneously will create some negative reactions and new arenas for possible conflict. If we are to maximize the possibilities and ameliorate the difficulties of this new era, the coming generation of educated men and women must have a broad and deep comprehension of the cultural, social, political, economic and scientific forces that will shape it. It is toward this goal that Ripon?s global studies program is directed.
