International Study Programs
The International Studies Program offers a B.A. degree in international studies based on an interdisciplinary prospectus that provides both a global perspective and a comprehensive view of a selected geographic region of the world. International Studies seeks to expand the student's outlook by utilizing an interdisciplinary approach to learning which combines study in culture, languages, and the social sciences. The international study program is based on the understanding that the world is increasingly interdependent and that a global perspective on various issues is becoming essential for a complete understanding of international affairs. This degree affords an excellent foundation for careers in which an understanding of international economic, social, political, social, and cultural affairs is of importance; it also provides a solid foundation for graduate work in the field.
International Studies is an interdisciplinary major in the College of Arts and Science requiring 30 credits. It draws from Political Science, History, Economics, Foreign Language, and other areas of study, to provide students with a lens for understanding our complex and ever changing world. Major requirements are broadly constructed and flexible to allow students to pursue their interests within our framework. Students have the opportunity to study with faculty from a variety of departments, find internships, and even study abroad.
