The Bachelor of International Studies emphasizes building language proficiency and understanding worldwide challenges through various social science lenses. This degree program includes three key elements: foundational coursework, a language specialization, and an international studies concentration. Students will reinforce these academic pursuits with a mandatory study abroad term to strengthen intercultural awareness and communication abilities. The curriculum offers diverse course options, each providing insights into the political, societal, and communicative dimensions of global affairs. Your overseas semester enables you to immerse yourself in another culture through living, learning, and potentially exploring a foreign country. Beyond being personally enriching, this experience showcases to prospective employers your adaptability in unfamiliar environments. Pairing your language studies with this international immersion helps solidify your linguistic skills and progress toward fluency. From purchasing flaky pastries at a Parisian bakery to sampling savory empanadas in Buenos Aires or enjoying traditional kimchi in Seoul, your study abroad term will create lasting memories.
