INTERNATIONAL STUDIES MINOR

Description

International studies is an interdisciplinary major that provides students with a broadly based course of study, focusing on the driving forces in world affairs today. As a sole major, international studies is an excellent preparation for careers in government, international business and public service. As a second major, it complements study in many fields because it centers on the international domain within which a wide range of careers operates. International Studies degree is an education in the future of our nation and the world because an international studies student will be versed not only in the subject areas studied, but will also be trained analytically in problem identification and problem solving where international matters are concerned. Toward this end, International Studies students will speak and write at least one foreign language, will have experienced one of Brockport's many outstanding study abroad opportunities, and will be computer literate. Given the rise in global interdependence in communications, transportation, trade, financial transactions, and a host of other activities, a degree in international studies is a passport to the emerging challenges of the 21st Century. The College also offers interdisciplinary programs in international business, Asian studies and Latin American studies, as well as programs overseas that can be integrated into the international studies major.
