This course is an advanced social studies course that focuses on the movement of people and broad geopolitical changes. This course will rely heavily on current events to help students understand modern day migration patterns, the reasons for movement, and the challenges that arise when people move from one place to another. Students will use case studies to investigate the ways in which migration has political, economic, and social effects on countries, and will learn both the positives and negatives associated with global migration.

Prerequisite: Departmental approval
