International Studies Mission Statement
The International Studies Program cultivates global citizens through immersive and interdisciplinary majors and minors. We strive to foster a deep understanding of the complexities of living in an interconnected world. Our program empowers students to become effective leaders, advocates, and problem solvers, capable of working in diverse environments to help solve complex global problems in the arenas of business, politics and society.
Through rigorous academic coursework, cross-cultural experiences, and engagement with international communities, our programs equip students with the knowledge, skills, and perspectives necessary to navigate and contribute to an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world.
Learning Outcomes
This program consists of a designated core of courses taken by all majors and three concentrations of designated and elective courses. International studies majors select one concentration in either Language and Culture, Past and Present, International Politics, or Peace and Justice Studies. The purpose of the program is to prepare students for careers and graduate study in an increasingly globally-integrated world. Students should consult with the faculty adviser, listed below, for the concentration and emphasis that they select. All students in the major participate in an approved study abroad or off-campus study program for at least 10 weeks. Program coordinator, Dr. Michael Aleprete.
