The ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle, indicated that among all areas of human inquiry, political science is the "master science". Not only is the study of politics challenging, rewarding, and important, but it often leads to careers in foreign and domestic government service, higher education and the practice of law.

International Studies
MacLean Hall 380, (218) 477-2842
Faculty: A variety of faculty from different disciplines teach this interdisciplinary major.

The International Studies major is designed around a required international experience such as an internship or exchange program. Students are expected to acquire an understanding of the culture and the geographical area of the country in which they study. A core of required international courses across the curriculum at the lower level is combined with an upper level emphasis in development or diplomacy. Students develop a proficiency in a foreign language and complete a senior project with the advice and counsel of an interdisciplinary commitee including their advisor.

This program is ideal for those who wish to develop a career involving various kinds of international relations such as careers with the Foreign Service, non-governmental agencies, international organizations such as the U.N., IMF, NATO, EU, or working in international trade for multinational companies. It is also excellent preparation for participation in international volunteer organizations such as the Peace Corps and non-governmental organizations (NGO's).
