国际研究

Students in international studies develop an understanding of the complex interactions of 政治, 文化, 历史, 以及影响全球关系的经济学.

概述

Students learn to think across traditional disciplinary boundaries as an approach to addressing the world’s most complex global challenges such as migration, 战争, 健康, 还有环境. They gain insight into the processes and institutions that shape global activities and develop the tools necessary to study ongoing events in this complex and rapidly changing world. This major allows students to develop an emphasis in a particular regional or functional area, but within the larger context of 国际关系. 例如, you might concentrate in African studies or developmental studies, 或者和老师一起做一个研究项目.

课程

To understand and address these challenges, the major combines core interdisciplinary courses with four distinct disciplinary tracks. Core courses develop a common body of knowledge through a mix of introductory and specialized courses that span the globe both geographically and thematically: from Canada to 印度, 从贸易到人权, 从谷歌到W.H.O. 纪律轨道——政治, 经济学, 历史, and religion – allow students the flexibility to choose an area that best corresponds to their intellectual and professional goals within the broader framework of international studies. We strongly encourage students to study abroad as an essential element of their experience.
