International Studies

See program requirements, course sequences and more in the Course Catalog.

The interdisciplinary International Studies major, housed in the Department of World Languages and Cultures, allows students to combine the in-depth study of global issues, with intermediate proficiency in a second language, and a concentration in another discipline with an international focus, such as history, economics, political science, or sociology. Students choosing to major in International Studies are strongly encouraged to complete an additional major. The major requires students to study abroad for a semester or summer in the second language of study. The Florence program does not fulfill the study abroad requirement.

Program Mission

The mission of the International Studies Program is to develop proficient communicators in the world language of study. Learners will also be able to demonstrate their knowledge of the cultures, literatures, and structure of the language of study, and make connections between disciplines through interdisciplinary study.
