International Studies aims to educate global citizens. The major promotes global understanding and lifelong learning through an international, intercultural, and interdisciplinary curriculum. It is designed to foster understanding of world societies and global issues from varied disciplinary perspectives, including cultural diversity and norms, economic interconnectedness, conflict and war, environmental degradation, human rights violations and solutions.
