International and Cultural Studies Major
Modern science has joined with humans’ quest for expanded frontiers to shrink the globe, creating a new world of exciting opportunities and challenges. The national leaders and ordinary citizens of tomorrow must have the capacity to function in this newly globalized world if they are to reach their individual potentials. This major provides training in both breadth across the disciplines of the liberal arts and sciences, and depth in one particular functional or geographical area. It also involves the acquisition of language skills and international study experience.
