Overview

The International Studies program at the University of South Alabama program provides a unique combination of course work and opportunities outside of the classroom, through internships and study abroad, to become competent in our globalized world. International Studies majors must choose one of five degree concentrations, complete the IS Core, and a pre-professional program. The pre-professional program takes the place of a traditional minor.

Choose a Concentration

All concentrations in the International Studies degree program prepare students well for international careers or further study, but see your adviser to discuss which option is best for you. Concentrations consist of 24 hours of credit. All include 6 hours of a foreign language at the 200-level.
