The International Studies minor combines introductory global courses and
interdisciplinary area studies courses. The area studies (IS) courses examine
the culture, economics, geography, history, politics, and society of regions and
nations outside the United States. The IS minor complements most majors offered
at the University and contributes to preparation for a variety of professions in
an increasingly globalized economy.
