The College of Liberal Arts offers the degree of Bachelor of Arts in International Studies (BAIS) administered through the office of the Dean by the Director of International Studies. The degree’s multi-disciplinary curriculum draws upon courses in Anthropology, Economics, English, Fine Arts, Geography, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Sociology, and Foreign Languages. Courses from these disciplines and an internship with a government agency, a non-governmental international agency, or an international corporation comprise the core requirements of the program. Students in this program complete a Business or a 24-credit hour concentration in any one of the college’s four area studies (Africana Studies, Asian Studies, European Studies, and Latin American and Caribbean Studies) or in any of the four topical themes (Diplomacy and International Organizations; Environmental Issues and Policy; Ethnicity, Nationalism, and Migration; and Peace & Justice Studies). Other topical themes may be developed by individual students in consultation with faculty advisors and the Director of International Studies.
