Overview

Dickinson College believe that combining insights from these individual fields in an interdisciplinary major helps students to attain a well-rounded, multi-faceted understanding of global developments and trends. More than that, it helps to prepare our majors to succeed in the globally-connected world of the 21st century.

International Studies majors complete core coursework in international politics, economics, and history and also gain proficiency in a foreign language.

Learning outcomes

Beyond that, majors individually select a cluster of courses in their choice of one of three areas of concentration. Students may choose to concentrate on (1) a geographical area or a specific country; (2) on transnational issues related to globalization and sustainability; or (3) on issues related to international security, broadly understood. Two capstone seminars – one each semester of the senior year – provide opportunities for majors to complete a significant research project related to their area of concentration and to review and prepare for the comprehensive written and oral examinations that all IS majors take at the end of their senior year. While it is not a requirement, virtually all of our majors spend a semester or a year abroad—typically during the junior year. Most study at one of Dickinson’s own study abroad centers, which are located throughout the world.
