About International Studies
Director's Message
Hello! And welcome to International Studies! We are an interdisciplinary field that offers both a Bachelor of Arts degree and
a minor. You will take classes in a number of fields, including political science,
history, communications, philosophy and religion, foreign languages, to name a few.
What unites us is a passion to learn more about the world. Many of our students study
abroad and all of our students take at least one foreign language. Our graduates have
gone onto graduate programs and international focused careers. If you are a current
student, never hesitate to reach out with any questions. If you are a prospective
student, I hope you consider our program and get in touch with any questions that
you have.
Best,
Dr. Charles Fagan
Director, International Studies Program
