International Studies - Minor

Full Description

The International Studies minor introduces students to global issues and international affairs. Students explore human security, economic wealth and development, migration, international law, political stability and global mutual aid, all from multiple perspectives. The minor is multidisciplinary, allowing students to examine global issues through a combination of disciplinary approaches.

The minor complements a wide range of majors, including peace and conflict studies, political science, anthropology, economics, history, psychology and sociology, and is ideal for students with an interest in global issues. The minor builds a skill set in evaluation and analysis, applicable across a range of professional fields, and provides broad exposure to global dynamics.
