INTERNATIONAL STUDIES IS INTERDISCIPLINARY AND ENCOURAGES ALL OF ITS STUDENTS TO VIEW THE WORLD FROM MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES. Students are driven to be broadly concerned with social, political, economic, environmental, historical, and cultural processes, linkages, interdependencies, and power relations that connect individuals, communities, groups, states, and regions across the globe. Shared dilemmas and challenges tie the world’s citizens together.
