The Program

Today’s citizens need to know as much as possible about this complex world in which we are all so interdependent. Many academic disciplines contribute to that goal. The International Studies Program, which is multi-disciplinary, focuses attention on two areas in particular: international politics and the international economy. Within that framework students may concentrate on geographic areas: Europe, Latin America, or Africa-Asia-Middle East. Also, we work closely with the International Exchange Program and strongly urge students to spend a semester abroad at one of our partner institutions. Students may take a major, minor, or collateral in International Studies simply to learn more about the interconnected world in which they live. More likely, they will major or minor in order to prepare for careers in business, government, international agencies, civic and religious organizations, as well as education and journalism, or to prepare for further study.
