• The courses available through this program give students descriptive, analytical, and methodological tools to help them understand the world and the United States in a global context. Students in the International Studies program take courses from three core areas: People, Challenges, and Systems.
  • They must also take electives from a single focus area: Development & Sustainability, Foreign Relations & Security, Global Health, Culture & Identity, Trade & Commerce, European Studies, or Language/Culture Electives. Regardless of the chosen emphasis area, all International Studies students must also complete a learning abroad program or an international internship.
  • Through the study of languages, geography, ethics, and human nature, students will form a basis for understanding global issues and their national and international impact. After graduating from the program, you will be prepared for a number of careers both domestically and internationally.
