Academic Accelerator - Bachelor of Arts - International Studies

Program Description

• The right amount of support when you need it.
• A seat in credit-bearing courses, so you can earn a full freshman year’s worth of credits while taking courses tailored to your needs as an international student. This will help you achieve your academic and career goals.
• English-language instruction designed around your social and academic needs.
• Integrated and cohorted courses, so you’ll be in some classes with U.S. students and others with your designated UDayton Global cohort.

The International Studies program is designed to provide students with a broad educational foundation for leadership and service in the complex global community. Providing our students with the tools necessary to understand complex international issues, the ​curriculum includes foundation courses in language arts, humanities, and social sciences, one of several thematic concentrations, and a senior capstone. The self-designed experiential learning component allows majors to expand their language skills and knowledge of other countries while gaining valuable on-site experience through the University’s education abroad programs or by participating in one of several domestic internships with an international focus.​ Our graduates are employed by government agencies, humanitarian organizations, multi-national corporations, law enforcement agencies, educational institutions, and law firms throughout the United States and other parts of the world.​
