A bachelor's degree in international studies prepares students for a wide variety of careers, both domestically and abroad. Our program is interdisciplinary and students have a great deal of flexibility in designing their program of study to match their career interests.
Students majoring in international studies take a total of 37 hours from the international studies curriculum and 18 hours of a single foreign language. The courses are distributed across several categories: proseminar and capstone, core, global and regional tracks, and electives.
