Overview

Students will engage in debates about global citizenship and evaluate the historical context of current political, economic, cultural, health, and environmental decisions. Both the B.A. and the B.S. in International Studies (INTL) provide an intellectual foundation that enables students to communicate, collaborate, and work across national, cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic boundaries.

By incorporating extensive foreign language study and mandating an overseas experience, these degrees foster competencies that students need in order to function successfully in a global environment.
