In the 21st century, every issue is global. Any decision, whether made by a government or a business, has potentially wide-ranging international impacts.

If subjects such as politics, international relations, policy-making, sustainability, or macroeconomics interest you, you’ll appreciate Carroll University’s interdisciplinary program.

The Earth is called the "blue planet" because of the abundance of water covering its surface. However, less than one percent of that is available freshwater, a precious resource we need to survive. Freshwater scientists study the health of freshwater systems—lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, wetlands—gathering critical information such as the impact of invasive species, changing levels of biological diversity, and the effects of climate change and pollution. Their work is at the forefront of finding innovative solutions to the complex challenges facing our freshwater resources. In our unique partnership program, you’ll earn your bachelor’s degree at Carroll and go on to complete your master’s degree at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in as little as five years. Choose from Carroll's Environmental Science LINK program, which integrates the Earth Sciences, Chemistry, and Ecology with opportunities to customize the curriculum to your interests; or the Biology LINK program, where you’ll focus on living systems, animals, plants, microbes, and human life.

It’s the information age. Data rules. And so do people who know how to harness that technology: how to collect, organize and secure data, build networks and maintain the hardware that keeps it all humming. What everyone calls the cloud is really billions of bits of information, data that are collected, organized, and disseminated. That might be in the form of e-commerce transactions, patient medical histories, or employee personnel files. It might be texts or video files. It could be things we haven’t even imagined yet. The information age is marked by constant change. To succeed here, you’ll need to be a detail-oriented, analytical thinker. A problem solver.
