New International Experience Requirement
As of Fall 2011, all students who declare an International Studies major will enhance their degree program by participating in either a study abroad program or international internship. Students will have the opportunity to choose from a wide variety of programs around the world offered through the Study Abroad Office and the Hinckley Institute of Politics or students can propose their own international experience. The international experience will allow students to apply the knowledge they gained from coursework and help define career interests.
