Global Resource Systems Major
The World's Problems Don't Fit in One Major. Neither Do You.
From the wetlands of Uganda to the mountains of Peru—and in communities right here at home—you'll work across disciplines to address community challenges and build sustainable solutions.
Global Resource Systems is an interdisciplinary major that connects your academic interests to real-world global issues. Often paired with another major, GRS combines expertise in your chosen field with language study, international experience, and systems thinking to prepare you for meaningful impact wherever your work takes you.
With GRS, Your Classroom Has No Walls
GRS connects your coursework to real-world experience from the start. You'll build skills across disciplines, engage with global communities, and apply what you're learning in hands-on settings — through internships, fieldwork, and international experiences that teach you to work across contexts, navigate complexity, and communicate across differences. You'll graduate with the kind of experience employers and graduate programs notice.
You're Not Just Earning a Degree. You're Shaping the Future.
Global challenges don’t exist in isolation. GRS helps you understand how environmental, social, and economic systems connect—so you can see problems more clearly and respond more effectively.
These experiences change how you approach complexity, collaboration, and decision-making across contexts.
