Overview
Key facts
The Comparative International Studies major at San Diego State University is an unique program that combines the study of two world regions (identified as a primary and a secondary area of focus) with:
- Foreign Language - Knowing one or more foreign language is essential in order to effectively understand another culture, therefore, all of our majors are required to complete a minor in a foreign language.
- Study Abroad - All students are required to participate in an international experience amounting to a minimum of three weeks spent abroad and completing a minimum of three units of study abroad.
- Research - All students must complete a culminating senior project in their final year.
What can I do with this major?
Those completing the major will be prepared to meet the challenges of the new era of globalization, including careers in local, state, and national government, in national and international non-profit organizations such as social service providers, cultural organizations, or international development agencies, and in areas such as international education, commerce, tourism, and communications.
