International Studies
International Studies is designed for highly-motivated students who plan careers in law, diplomacy, education, international research and the globalized marketplace of business and economics.
National and state leaders have placed a high priority on International Studies in order to meet the critical need for college graduates who are competent in world languages and who are familiar with world cultures. The national and regional commitment to internationalism in the United States and the increasing interdependence of nations around the world are reflected in a wide range of job opportunities in both government and in the private sector.
Within the International Studies major, students are able to focus upon one of four international areas: East Asia, Latin America, Western Europe and International Policy. A fifth area study option is American Studies which is open to all international students who wish to major in IS. Each area focus provides majors with a multidisciplinary background in a language and culture area.
