Why major in...
International Studies?
The International Studies major is a flexible, interdisciplinary major intended to prepare students for a wide range of careers. Many graduates go on to law school or graduate school in political science and public affairs. Our graduates have pursued careers such as teacher, lawyer, Foreign Service officer, journalist, and district attorney. Many have also gone into the business world. The goal of the program is to make students knowledgeable about significant contemporary and historical global issues and to provide them with the analytical tools necessary to succeed in the modern workplace. The major emphasizes critical written and verbal analysis of current global politics. Students complete a core curriculum in global politics followed by a concentration on global politics, history, cultural studies, international business, or economics. Students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of one of Berry's many study abroad programs.
