What is the difference between Global Studies and International Studies? I might not be going to a college that offered International studies but my second choice offers Global studies. I looked up their program a little and it seems like something I would be interested in but I just would like to know the difference. My plan is to be a translator and try to work at some company as their translator. I haven’t really thought it out completely and I know it will be competitive to get into some big company in China/Korea or the UN (it would be a miracle to get a job there lol) but I guess i’ll see where the major takes me. I also plan on trying to get into forensic pathology so med school would be my next step after undergrad. I don’t know, my school doesn’t have much information to help me out.
Global Studies tends to focus on globalization and is smartly paired with economics, supply chain, or logistics as well as a foreign language through at least the upper intermediate level.
