International Studies is a multidisciplinary major, incorporating courses from the humanities, social sciences, and economics/business. Students will take a selection of core courses that offer a broad comparative perspective on important international issues and conditions; the remaining major requirements involve a selection of classes that can vary according to the student’s regional or topical area of interest within international studies. A major in international studies provides the basis for future graduate studies in the US as well as abroad, or for careers with an international focus in a variety of fields (including business, government, education, or the non-profit sector).
