INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
A major in International Studies seeks to provide the student with a full recognition and understanding
of the multitudinous forces which shape the contemporary world—nationalism, wars, political and economic
ideologies, cultural differentials, and modern technology. Such a broad knowledge and understanding of
world affairs can be utilized in careers in teaching, international business, the legal profession, journalism,
the Foreign Service of the United States, and other government agencies.
