Students can choose courses from a large number of disciplines including history, geography, political science, anthropology, economics, philosophy, languages, communication and women's studies.
A degree program in international studies can lead to a career in international publications, or at agencies such as the U.S. Agency for International Development, the World Health Organization, or in other government departments and embassies.
