International Studies
Major
The International Studies major offers students the opportunity to study international politics, culture, and society. The major combines intensive study of a foreign language with an interdisciplinary curriculum of study chosen by the student in consultation with a faculty advisor.
- Students select one of six areas of specialization: international diplomacy, area studies, comparative cultures, international economics, global gender studies, or research and intelligence analysis.
- Study abroad opportunities in Australia, Chile, Costa Rica, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and Thailand are available through the University Studies Abroad Consortium. Sister universities in Brazil, China, and Japan also offer cultural exchange programs in the summer.
