Overview

The student’s individual program may focus on a world region (Africa, Europe), a particular issue or discipline (development, environment, sociology), or a future career goal (government, business administration).

Key features

All International Studies majors at Bowling Green State University continue foreign language at least through the third-year college level. You may continue with your high school language, or you may decide to “start over” with a language not usually offered at the high school level, such as Japanese or Russian. We encourage all majors to spend a year or a semester abroad; shorter programs are also available.

Career Opportunities

In today’s global society, this undergraduate major may lead to a wider variety of career options than a traditional major.

Potential employers include federal agencies such as the departments of State, Defense, Commerce and Agriculture, and state offices in international trade, tourism, and economic development.

Students also find positions in not-for-profit associations, business enterprises and education. The International Studies Program also prepares students for graduate or professional training in foreign relations, languages, the social sciences, law, public administration and business.
