One of King's unique interdisciplinary programs, Migration and Border Studies (MBS) examines the causes, consequences and experiences of borders and the people who cross them.
In this program, you’ll investigate how borders can make mobility impossible, often leading to precarious circumstances, and even death. You can get a minor in this program that teaches you the impact of frontiers and borders locally, globally, aesthetically and intellectually, and their effects on nation states, cultures, Indigenous Peoples, languages, gender, the class system, and growing digital divides.
MBS draws on a range of interdisciplinary perspectives, and investigates geographically diverse examples. It integrates experiential learning and research for you to engage with the material, and will provide opportunities for collaboration on faculty research projects.
