The International Studies minor helps students develop strong analytical abilities while teaching them how to integrate a wide variety of disciplinary methods and cross-cultural understandings into the study of global issues. Advisors work closely with students to help guide them in a way that is sensitive to their personal constraints (economic, family, visa, AB540), while also pushing students to their maximum potential. As a result, International Studies alumni are successful in graduate school admissions and enter the workforce equipped with skill sets that employers value.
