The Department of International and Global Studies offers a B.A. degree based on an interdisciplinary curriculum that provides both a global perspective and a comprehensive view of a selected geographic region of the world. Students can choose to select a degree in International Studies (with a regional focus) or choose the International Development studies track (with a regional focus). This degree offers an excellent foundation for careers in which an understanding of international economic, political, social, historical and cultural affairs is of importance; it also provides a solid foundation for graduate work in the field.
