Apply for MA in Global Studies
The one-year MA in Global Studies Program, offered by Bard College, is currently accepting applications from students at OSUN institutions for the 2025-2026 academic year. Students can choose either or both degree programs available: the NYC Track, a full academic year in New York City, and the CEU Track, a collaborative Dual MA Program in Global Studies and International Relations with Central European University in Vienna, Austria.Many of the 21st century’s most pressing challenges involve problems that transcend established territorial borders. From climate change to forced migration to global pandemics, these borderless problems cut across national boundaries and demand transnational solutions. At the same time, the nature of politics itself is also undergoing a transformation, as established societies move from industrialized to knowledge-based and confront an increasingly globalized world. In response, new forms of political organization and visions of citizenship have emerged to address these problems, which challenge the state as the primary focus of political authority and constitute a growing transnational public sphere.
The Global MA program prepares students to participate in and shape the transnational public debate about the most urgent contemporary global problems. Its mission is to equip students with a sophisticated set of theoretical tools and practical experiences that will prepare them to understand and address the reality of the contemporary global landscape.
Deadline to apply is Saturday, February 1
