The International Studies program is an interdisciplinary concentration that prepares students for careers in an increasingly interdependent world. Students are introduced to a wide range of economic, political and environmental issues and they develop expertise in the culture, history and languages of other parts of the globe.

Students are required to complete at least 2 courses from a bank of core courses and 4 others from any of the area studies (African, Asian, Eastern European and Russian, Latin American and Iberian, Middle Eastern and Western European) for a total of 18 credit hours. These 4 courses can also be selected from the list of core courses. There may be other courses, not listed here, that are applicable with the approval of the Coordinator.

International Studies may be pursued in conjunction with major and minor programs, or as General Education, Multicultural/Global, Literature, Writing Intensive, or Rowan Seminar requirements. Study of a foreign language is recommended. Students can also pursue Study Abroad in partial fulfillment of the International Studies Concentration. For more information, contact Dr. Sonia Spencer. To declare the International Studies Concentration, sign up at the CAP Center in Savitz Hall using Code C901.
