A major in International Studies prepares students to thrive as individuals, prosper as professionals, and participate as citizens in the global community of the 21st Century. This requires increasing their awareness of how global forces will shape their lives and their communities.
The International Studies major provides a practical and theoretical international relations framework within which to examine the multiple international and intercultural dimensions of the contemporary world. Drawing upon the social sciences, the study of languages and cultures, the humanities, and environmental sciences, the major also explores and compares the political, environmental, philosophical, cultural, and economic aspects of our interdependent world. A semester of study abroad is required for the major in order to provide students with overseas opportunities to examine global issues.
The International Studies major is designed for the student who is interested in government service, international law, international and regional non-governmental organizations, and various international and service organizations and programs. It also prepares students for graduate study in a variety of international fields.
