International Studies

The International Studies program revolves around the study of contemporary global political, economic, and socio- cultural conditions. Students who major in International Studies will follow one of two concentrations. The International Relations concentration emphasizes the study of international relations, including such issues as history, politics, human rights, and the environment. The International Trade concentration focuses on the study of global economics and finance, with special consideration accorded to international trade and commerce, as well as the theories and norms that regulate them.

This interdisciplinary program offers courses that cover such issues as commerce, finance, governance, social justice, development and human rights, and the environment within the context of the relations among states and international institutions, regimes, and norms.

The program’s primary practical application is to prepare students for graduate studies in the disciplines of Business, Economics, History, and Political Science, as well as careers in the fields of international trade and business and international affairs (e.g., diplomacy, NGO work, etc.).
