The International Studies Program offers an undergraduate major, undergraduate minor, and a masters degree offered jointly with six professional schools. The IS Program combines social sciences and humanities to examine international problems and change. Using a diverse, multidisciplinary approach, the program encourages students to look at our increasingly interdependent world in order to learn how to study it and understand its politics, societies, economies, and cultures. The general program gives students a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective on world problems, plus an ability to analyze subtle interactions of politics, economics, and culture that take place within the global system. Students look, for instance, at how anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists, and humanists address the subject of culture in international affairs; at how political scientists study comparative politics and international relations; and how economists and geographers deal with the fields of development, resource management, and international economics. History and language study are also important parts of the program. Students choose an emphasis on a world region or in the areas of ethnicity and nationality, development issues, international political economy, or foreign policy and diplomacy.
