About
International Studies
The International Studies Major combines experiential
learning with a multidisciplinary approach to the study of international politics, economics, history,
development and underdevelopment.
Recent International Studies graduates have obtained Fulbright
Scholarships to study abroad. Others have served as officers and program assistants in the Asia Foundation, Japan Society
and UN-specialized agencies. Still others have worked in the Peace Corps and as human rights monitors. Majors have also
pursued graduate studies in fields as diverse as law, city planning, public administration and public health.
