International studies graduates leave UD with real-world experience through our required experiential learning component. Recent examples include:

The students work directly with immigrants and refugees, helping them to settle in the Dayton community (a common internship is with Catholic Social Services).
The students do research and advocacy work with international development agencies focused on Asia, Africa and Latin America (our capstone class often works with Counterpart International and with Cristosal).
Last semester, our students helped promote democratic government and accountability in El Salvador, and provide support and advocate for small coffee farmers in Guatemala.
