The International Studies Bachelor of Arts program addresses the growing necessity for global understanding across education, commerce, and social spheres. In our interconnected world, universities and other learning centers increasingly focus on disciplines that transcend borders. As Illinois competes in an international marketplace for products, services, and workforce, the accelerating pace of globalization requires more knowledgeable professionals. The post-9/11 era has heightened the urgency for Americans to grasp global affairs, as individuals at all levels—not just policymakers—now regularly engage in international business dealings. Students earning International Studies degrees will gain crucial insights to navigate this complex global landscape effectively.
