What is International Studies?

The International Studies program at Rowan is designed to prepare students to live and develop their careers in an increasingly interdependent world. To prosper in this global era, students should work to increase their knowledge of global issues and international relations, institutions, and economies; they should attempt to develop expertise in the languages, history, and cultures of other parts of the world. International education can be a valuable and marketable skill for all students working towards degrees at Rowan, and we hope you will consider one of our programs!

International Studies also:

• Engages students in an in-depth examination of international politics, economics, history, society, and culture.
• Helps students understand major global issues and analyze their own society in a broader global context.
• Teaches students how to apply interdisciplinary approaches to global problems and issues.
• Provides deep knowledge of a specific theme or world area through a required 5-course major concentration.
• Promotes strong research, critical thinking, and communication skills.
