International Studies is a growing, interdisciplinary field that offers students the opportunity to study politics, economics, history, sociology, anthropology and communication as parts of a complex and evolving global system. Rather than focusing just on relations between states in the international system, the International Studies major affords students the opportunity to create a focus on particular geographic areas of the world, the evolution of the international system itself, or on global race, gender and activism. Majoring in International Studies lays the groundwork for students to pursue a wide array of careers in international affairs, from work with intergovernmental organizations like the United Nations or the World Bank, to aid and development work with groups like USAID, democracy promotion for organizations such as Freedom House, international law at the Hague, advocacy groups like Witness or Human Rights Watch, environmental groups like the Sierra Club, or global solidarity campaigns including the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women. A growing, bustling and vibrant global city, Chicago is host to numerous international organizations, government offices, advocacy centers and think tanks, and plays host to countless international conferences. At Roosevelt, students study the international system with a focus on the pursuit and realization of social justice across national boundaries, producing graduates with fluency in contemporary debates in multiple, as well as the moral and ethical foundation to be leaders and global citizens.
