The world is more connected than ever. An International Studies minor helps you understand the people, cultures, systems, and global issues shaping our world—and your place in it.

Explore international relations, global cultures, politics, economics, and contemporary global issues while developing the critical thinking, communication, and cross-cultural skills to navigate an increasingly interconnected world. Pair the minor with any major to broaden your perspective and prepare for opportunities in business, government, education, nonprofits, diplomacy, and international organizations.

Upon completion of the International Studies minor, students will be able to:

  1. Recognize the major political, economic, and socio-cultural forces shaping international affairs, past and present.
  2. Compare and contrast theories and perspectives in international relations, political economy, and international studies.
  3. Examine the primary global environmental threats at present and the international institutions and agreements created to address them.
