International Studies

The International Studies major is an interdisciplinary program designed for students who intend to do graduate study or work in any of a variety of areas in an increasingly interrelated world.  The student must choose one of the following areas of concentration:

  • Business and Management
  • Asian Studies
  • European Studies

All students are required to gain foreign language competency; and take a core curriculum of courses, which includes Economics, Literature, History, Geography, Political Science, and Sociology; and take additional classes in one of the above areas of concentration.  All International Studies majors must file a proposed course of study to the International Studies Committee.

The combination of foreign language study with other academic programs -- such as social work, teaching, nursing, criminal justice, business -- increases career opportunities.
