The International Studies Program integrates social sciences and humanities to analyze global challenges and transformations. Through a varied, interdisciplinary lens, the Program motivates students to explore our interconnected world, developing skills to research and comprehend its political systems, social structures, economic forces, and cultural dynamics. A key feature of the International Studies curriculum is the Task Force project, a culminating seminar where students examine pressing worldwide policy concerns, produce analytical reports, and present solutions to expert external reviewers. Exceptional undergraduate and graduate students may participate in Global Research Teams, delivering practical recommendations to both corporate and governmental entities for their strategic and operational needs.
