The Master of Science in Global Studies equips students with the knowledge and technical skills needed to address complex challenges in both public and private sectors with international scope. The program also provides a strong foundation for further graduate study in related fields. Graduates are prepared to:

- Think critically about how globalization impacts global order, welfare, and legitimacy.
- Become ethically engaged by becoming familiar with the historical, ethical, and philosophical questions underlying research in the field of Global Studies, and their impact on the framing of analytical questions and the gathering and analysis of data on problems that are global in scale and scope.
- Gain practical experience in collecting, analyzing, and evaluating data on key global challenges of the 21st century using a range of analytical tools.
- Design and implement policies by translating the skills and knowledge gained in the classroom into professional experiences focused on solutions to problems that are global in scope and/or benefit from global studies’ perspectives and approaches.
