Add muscle to your major

With a double major or minor in a foreign language, you can increase your marketability, whether it's for employment or graduate school.

An all-in-one major

Marquette's interdisciplinary major in international affairs combines the strengths of the university's departments of Political Science and Economics, along with course work in history, philosophy, theology and anthropology to give you the knowledge and skills required to cross borders and work with diverse cultures.

Broaden your expertise

The international affairs major allows you to choose among many subfield specializations: area studies (Asian, European, Latin American or Third World); cross-cultural studies (foreign language courses in civilization and culture); international communication; international economic relations; international political-military relations or peace studies.

Stay ahead of the curve

Learn not only from our distinguished faculty, but also from visiting international scholars who will keep you on top of international affairs as they share their own research, experiences and insights with you in the classroom.
