International Studies

It's a small world, and global business, travel and communications are making it smaller every day. The U's international studies program helps you become internationally literate and familiar with diverse cultures, ideas, languages, politics, history, literature and more.

The interdisciplinary program prepares you for employment in education, business, government, journalism and other fields that increasingly seek graduates with both a liberal arts education and international understanding.
