Parkside's International Studies Program combines courses from various departments to create a broad, interdisciplinary program. Student's majoring will study a variety of interesting topics and have the opportunity to participate in several of our study abroad programs, often led by our very own faculty.

The International Studies program recognizes that studying abroad, working abroad or doing an internship abroad are excellent complements to the major, minor, or certificate programs and can be a rewarding and life-changing experience for any student. Incorporating study abroad into a student?s college experience enhances the value of any academic program. UW-Parkside faculty-led programs, UW-System study abroad programs, and affiliated study abroad programs, once approved, can count toward elective credits in the International Studies major. Study abroad programs can be week-, semester-, or year-long programs.
