Bachelor of Arts - International Studies

Program Description

Global understanding is more important now than ever in this world's diverse and connected society. The University of Findlay's international studies major combines coursework and experiential education to prepare students for success in virtually any industry in the United States or abroad. With a degree in international studies, students will be prepared to work with diverse populations and pursue careers in a number of areas such as: international business, service organizations based in the U.S., federal service employment, or in non-governmental organizations abroad.

If students are interested in studying or working abroad, working with diverse populations or strengthening a second language and cultural knowledge, the international studies major is perfect for them. Findlay also recommends this major to students who excelled in high school language courses an​d would like to pursue a career using their language proficiency and cultural knowledge.

An exciting piece to the international studies major is the study abroad experience(s) that students will participate in.  The University of Findlay offers a number of options to volunteer, study and intern abroad and to engage with the international student population. We believe this is the best way to practice and strengthen intercultural skills, so students will complete at least six semester hours of an international academic experience as part of the major. This can be fulfilled through University international study courses or through an affiliated study abroad program decided upon with the student's academic advisor.
