Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)
Spanish and International Studies in the track of Commerce and focus in Latin America
The International Studies degree provides an interdisciplinary curriculum that captures the broad range of social, political, cultural, and economic forces at play in an increasingly interdependent world. Courses are linked by language, topic, and region, and class work is enhanced by a related international experience.
The degree couples a thorough background in foreign language with one of five different degree tracks: Communication and Media Studies, Commerce, Arts and Culture, Politics and Diplomacy, and Environmental Studies. All students participate in a 10 to 14 week international experience in their chosen geographic region. Upon graduation, international studies majors have the language proficiency, analytical skills, substantive knowledge, and cultural sensitivity necessary for work in government, academia, or international business.
