EDITOR'S CORNER
What is International Studies?

interdisciplinary major of International Studies explores how countries interact in our
ever-shrinking world. Whether you are interested in
examining issues in the world in general,
or in a particular region of the world, the
cross-disciplinary nature of International Studies gives you a chance to work
closely with a variety of professors and develop a
major that satiates your intellectual interests.
