Fellowship & Scholarship Opportunities
Learn about the abundance of scholarships, fellowships and awards available to current International Studies students and recent graduates.
Develop a global perspective through the study of the economic, cultural, political and historical factors that shape international systems.
International Studies is an inter-and-multidisciplinary major that integrates the perspectives of the social sciences, the arts and humanities, and, to some extent, the natural sciences. This approach provides our majors with an ethical and critically engaged understanding of the complex and interdependent character of our globalized world.
Our curriculum prepares students for a wide range of professional paths, which include: law and policy, advocacy, diplomacy, and international business. Recent graduates have successfully pursued careers in foreign service, the intelligence community, non-profit organizations, the international policy-making community, and international NGOs [non governmental organizations] concentrating on development and public health. Graduates have also been admitted to competitive graduate programs domestically and internationally, such as international studies, law, global public health, environmental policy, and international business.
