International Studies Major

Do you dream of exploring European capitals, African wildernesses, South American villages, or the wonders of rapidly evolving China?

When you major in international studies, you learn about foreign languages and cultures at the source. The program is designed to help majors better understand the times we live in and develop the capacity to function effectively within them. As a major, you'll take courses in history, political science, economics, the humanities, modern language, and international studies itself.

Requirements include at least one semester in a study-abroad program where you'll develop language proficiency and cultural understanding. Students are prepared for their overseas experience through the course work they take on campus, including advanced studies in Spanish, French, German or Chinese.
