Whether geographically or intellectually, we need to meet the challenges of an increasingly borderless world within and beyond our local, regional, and national communities. The mission of the International Studies Program is to unite a cohort of students who will broaden the experience of their various major programs as they develop an international perspective and immerse themselves in the language and culture of a non-English-speaking country or region. A multinational perspective enhances any major and we invite students to construct their own, individualized curriculum through a minor or a joint major. The program's internationally-focused curriculum prepares students for future study, careers and life in the increasingly unbordered community of the 21st century.
