Center for Global & Area Studies
Join the global village
The Center for Global and Area Studies at the University of Delaware promotes global awareness and fosters an academic community that is increasingly connected to the "global village." As a hub for global learning, we bring together faculty whose expertise spans disciplines and world regions. In addition to transnational and global issues, our academic programs enable undergraduate students to rigorously study Africa, Asia, Europe, the Islamic World, the Jewish diaspora, and Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula.
