About international studies at St. Norbert College
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. Specific regional paradigms for Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East offer students the opportunity to specialize in their international studies. A semester of study abroad is required in order to provide students with overseas opportunities to examine global issues. A minimum cumulative St. Norbert College GPA of 2.5 is required for study abroad although individual programs may have a higher GPA requirement.
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.
