What is international studies?
About
Are you ready to step out of your comfort zone and be inspired to see, taste, and experience new things? International studies encourages you to explore different cultures, engage with new people, and better understand the world around you.
Not only does this major allow you to travel the world, but it also prepares you for the rapidly advancing globalization of the workforce. This multifaceted major provides many opportunities to gain insight into how economics, culture, education, and politics affect society. With these insights, you can develop real solutions that create positive change. If you are culturally sensitive and excited to face new challenges, then an international studies degree is for you.

Together you will design an international studies major by drawing from courses across campus to create a program that caters to your international interests and objectives.
