INTERNATIONAL STUDIES (INST)

Professor John Oneal, Director
Office: 345 ten Hoor Hall

The international studies program includes a major and a minor. Their basic purpose, accomplished through a broad base of courses from various social sciences, is to provide a flexible curriculum aimed at promoting an understanding of world affairs and a thorough grasp of the problems facing various geographical areas of the world. In addition, the curriculum is designed to serve the following specific objectives: (1) the preparation of secondary school teachers in social studies; (2) the promotion of area specializations, including the study of one of the languages spoken in the area; and (3) preparation for postgraduate training in international affairs for those seeking professional careers in the foreign relations field. Students are encouraged to study abroad while fulfilling the requirements of the international studies program. Information on study-abroad opportunities is available from International Programs and Services in B. B. Comer Hall.
