Social Sciences Interdisciplinary BA - International Studies Concentration

The SSC/International Studies major is designed for students who want to develop a global understanding of the world today. The major is rooted in the belief that significant language competence is fundamental to international competence and that interdisciplinary study provides a deeper understanding of the world’s events. The major combines introductory surveys of world history and international politics with a focused understanding of a particular geographic region: Europe, Latin America, Asia or Africa and the Middle East. Students may study the history, politics, culture and/or religion in their exploration of the chosen region.
