Globalization Studies
The Globalization Studies focus on the geography of global changes and how the global changes come as a result of political, economic, social and environmental processes at various levels. This program emphasizes the causes of globalization and the impact of globalization on socioeconomic and political conditions and processes at the local, state and international level.
