Curriculum for the MA program in Global Studies places at its center the theory-practice nexus, equipping students with a sophisticated set of theoretical and conceptual tools and practical experiences that in combination prepare them to understand the contemporary global landscape, where problems and solutions increasingly transcend territorially defined national communities.
Global Studies
Students begin in either Vienna, studying in the renowned International Relations program at Central European University (CEU), or at Bard College's Annandale-on-Hudson campus. They then move to the Bard Globalization and International Affairs (BGIA) campus in New York City, where they complete coursework and an internship with an organization working on global affairs. By emphasizing critical thinking, writing, and experiential learning, the program will educate the next generation of global citizens to be actively engaged in the transnational public sphere.
