International Studies is an interdisciplinary program in the College of Arts & Sciences.  It offers a flexible curriculum --  students choose their area of research and select courses that fit their interests.  Each student maintains a digital portfolio that includes a research prospectus and career plan.

Intensive, faculty-led field based courses allow students to experience learning outside the classroom.  Programs have recently been developed for conflict resolution in Ireland, peacekeeping and the United Nations, bi-national policy development in Canada, and social capital in the Philippines.
