Internationalization is a process which focuses on the social, legal, economic, political, and technological aspects of countries other than the United States. It often involves working with people from several disciplines to define a common goal. No single discipline can provide a thorough understanding of the globalization process. Rather, students must be exposed to several disciplines to obtain the holistic perspective required to analyze its complexity.
The Certificate in International Studies integrates a wide variety of junior and senior level courses and encourages a multidisciplinary approach. The Certification in International Studies meets the needs of the students and proves useful both in terms of career opportunities and contribution to international issues.
