International studies is an interdisciplinary concentration with a focus on issues that cross national boundaries. Courses that fulfill international studies requirements
must have either substantive content that examines political, cultural, historical, economic and social issues in areas outside of the United States or a primary focus on
transnational issues such as the global environment, international law, or international political and economic systems. Students of international studies may pursue careers
in international business, government, non-governmental organizations, public policy, consulting, diplomacy and academic careers with an international focus.
Available Options: Concentration in International Studies.

drawn from at least 3 different disciplines and may include team-taught and interdisciplinary courses. Students may replace their minor area with two theoretical or Global courses
from the list. Special Topics Courses in any discipline may be included for credit depending on the international content of the course (subject to approval by the concentration
committee). Students are reminded that they need 45 3000- or 4000-level credits to graduate.
