The master of arts in international studies is a multidisciplinary program designed to prepare students for professional careers in international business, the foreign service, the military, international humanitarian agencies, international programs for colleges and universities and other settings involving interaction with people from other cultures. The program provides a sound foundation in intercultural communication and understanding as well as global perspectives on a variety of issues. Students acquire skills in a foreign language, communicating across cultures, decision making, and conflict resolution and choose a concentration in a professional or academic specialty or area studies.
