Knowledge of the interdependent world in which we live and work is essential to all citizens. Through pursuit of the Bachelor of Arts in International Studies degree students develop international competence which involves understanding other peoples and societies well enough to work effectively with them on a broad range of common problems. The degree encourages breadth and depth of language study and calls for the education and training of persons who are knowledgeable of history, world views and cultures other than their own.
The interdisciplinary nature of the European Studies Major is designed to prepare students to understand the changing nature of European economics, culture and politics. Europe maintains vital cultural and political influence with the prospect of expansion of the European Community.
