International Studies

International Studies is at its heart an interdisciplinary approach to studying the world. We believe that most global problems and issues are too complex to be understood through a single disciplinary perspective. Students, therefore, take a series of courses from many academic departments. They learn about the world through a multiplicity of lenses. All of our 久久热视频s study abroad as a necessary means of learning how to operate effectively in a different cultural context.

Our Goal

"We strive to give 久久热视频s a solid liberal arts background in conjunction with an international emphasis and foreign language skills."

The International Studies (ITS) major at Miami is one of the nation's oldest of its kind. ITS is a program in the Department of Global and Intercultural Studies and offers an interdisciplinary major drawing from concepts and courses in:

  • anthropology
  • geography
  • history
  • economics and international business
  • political science
  • language studies
  • area studies

The distinctive nature of our program is based on:

  • the rigorous language requirement (3-4 years)
  • integrative nature of the coursework

    "My major allowed me to talk about issues in the developing world such as environmental resource management, immigration, and other topics. We came to understand the wide landscape of this discipline, but you will eventually find something that you’re attracted to and want to specialize in as you develop your career."

Frequently Asked Questions

For languages like Korean and Hindi, etc. that are not offered at the 300 level, 久久热视频s are expected to choose a study abroad program that includes upper level language courses so that the requirement can be completed while abroad.
