This program offers students the opportunity to supplement their major field with a minor specialization in International Studies. The program spans many disciplines and includes courses in political science, geography, anthropology, economics, sociology, history, English, music and art history. In today's increasingly interdependent world there is a recognizable need for an international awareness among those seeking positions with U.S. governmental agencies and major corporations. The International Studies program is designed to meet this need.
