Current global challenges call for an interdisciplinary perspective, an approach which merges academic training, hands-on experience, multiculturalism, and international exposure. In the words of the United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, “[University] departments are coming together to create interdisciplinary degrees. We are seeing the emergence of well-rounded scholars who are as comfortable in a research facility as they are in a refugee camp… This opens up vast new possibilities. By sharing ideas, across borders and disciplines, we can find solutions to the interconnected problems”
If you are interested in making a difference, changing the world, helping fellow human beings through humanitarian work, CUNY BA will help you design individualized degree that reflects your ideas and global needs.
