Global Resource Systems
Global Resource Systems is an interdisciplinary major that emphasizes global and cross cultural engagement while equipping students with strong technical competency in a resource area of their choosing. This major prepares students to work on complex global resource issues through leadership positions in international non-governmental organizations, global businesses, government agencies engaged in international trade and development, and globally engaged foundations, educational institutions and volunteer organizations. The major allows students to develop a core set of technical competencies in a resource area selected from among the 21 minors offered by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Students choose a world region in which to specialize, develop competency in a relevant language, participate in a significant cross cultural living and working immersion experience in their chosen world region, and carry out a senior project related to their resource specialization within the context of the world region.
