Brandeis' Master of Arts program in Global Studies offers advanced study of the processes of globalization. This dynamic, interdisciplinary program offers a broad perspective on global institutions, critical issues, and the complex ways that globalization affects specific regions and countries.  Students receive intensive training in research and writing as well as a solid foundation in the theories and issues of globalization, which will prepare students for multiple career paths.

In consultation with the director, each student selects one area of concentration: Civil Society and Human Rights; Communications and Media; Culture and Globalization; Global and Regional Governance; Global Environment; Global Health; Immigration; or Social Justice and Gender.

The expertise and skill development imparted by the Master of Arts in Global Studies are valuable for those who seek careers in the public or private sectors — in a broad range of professions deeply impacted by globalization, such as health care, the environment, human rights, and communications. The program is also valuable for those who seek a solid basis and strong credentials for advanced training in relevant academic disciplines, such as anthropology, history, politics, sociology, and the humanities.
