International Studies is for students who care about the world, want to grow professionally and personally by engaging our big and diverse world, and who seek a whole range of exciting careers.
It is a great major if you are interested in topics such as migration, development, culture, security, or the environment and how they play out across the world. The major allows you to look at these topics through many different classes such as political science, global communications, history, sociology, anthropology, and religious studies. You also get to travel the world as part of your degree!
