International Studies

Through an in-depth study of Political Science, Business and Economics, History, Foreign Language, and Social Sciences, students majoring in International Studies recognize and analyze global issues by way of various disciplinary lenses. To best comprehend the multifaceted nature of these issues and complexity of world cultures and systems, it is highly recommended that the students in the major spend at least one term studying or working in a foreign country. An integral part of our curriculum, the experience of living in another culture is often the highlight of our students’ college career.
