Why Study Here?

International and Area Studies provides students with the opportunity to design an interdisciplinary program that facilitates the understanding of the human experience from a global perspective.

To succeed in an international career, students need expertise in the politics, economics, history, language, and cultures of societies other than their own. The curricula for the International and Area Studies programs are designed to provide students with a foundation for this expertise by requiring course work in the social sciences, business, language, and humanities.
