BACHELOR OF ARTS IN GLOBAL STUDIES University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Global Security Track (revised 1-11-17) This track examines the changing conceptions and conditions shaping global security. In addition to exploring traditional notions of security based on the nation-state and the international system, coursework in this track considers a wide range of issues including global health, the environment, human rights, peace-building efforts, 21 st century conflict, social movements, migration, ethnicity, and identity. The Global Security track will prepare students for careers relevant to various aspects of global conflict management and/or sustainability, such as those in government agencies and diplomacy, non-profit organizations, international organizations, and the public policy community.
