Overview

The International Studies program of Eckerd College design their own integrated program anchored in one core discipline and one modern language and focused on a country or region where they study for a semester. Students majoring in International Studies affiliate with the Comparative Cultures Collegium and will be associates of faculty belonging to that Collegium. A committee of three faculty members works with each student to select courses, to plan the international experience, and to supervise the senior project or thesis. One of the members of this committee is the International Studies discipline coordinator.

Recent graduates have found employment in a variety of international fields such as education, development, public health, environmental management, journalism, law, and diplomacy. Others have served in the Peace Corps or other international service organizations. They have also worked in non-governmental organizations or international business. Many have pursued graduate study.

Semester Abroad Requirement

A special feature of the program is that students participate in an approved study abroad program. International Studies major study in a country related to their chosen modern language and region for at least one semester. Studying abroad for an extended period of time allows students to improve proficiency in a modern language and acquire first-hand experience of the ways different political, economic, and social systems operate. It also allows students to recognize their own cultural biases and develop skills to communicate with people from other cultures.
