Overview

Drawing on the interdisciplinarity of the SFS curriculum, Foreign Service - International History majors at Georgetown University develop a nuanced and critical understanding of the complex events and forces that inform the global present.

Features

In the face of seemingly unprecedented world events such as a once-in-a-century pandemic, challenges to the liberal world order, resurgent authoritarianism, democratic backsliding and demands for racial and environmental justice, IHIS students are equipped with both the knowledge and perspectives critical to make sense of an increasingly complex present.

Through their coursework and independent research projects, IHIS students will evaluate historical arguments, explore their implications for today and make their own evidence-based claims about the contours of global history.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

Global Perspectives on International History

Four courses chosen from the approved list in International History posted on the BSFS web site, including at least one colloquium or seminar

Five courses for the self-designed concentration within the major.

Concentrations may be thematic, regional, or periodic in character and must be developed in consultation with a faculty mentor.
