CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES Printer Friendly Page Email a Friend
Highlight

Established in 1981, the Center for International Studies is Houston's oldest degree-granting center of international higher learning, and seeks to establish recognition as this region's premier Center within the next decade.  International Studies prepares students for careers in international business, law, politics and public service. In addition, it promotes understanding of international relations, cultural differences and the benefits that come from cooperation within the human family. 

The Center is active in promoting international awareness and understanding throughout Houston via non-profit, corporate, and private partnerships.  Faculty at the Center offer specialization in diverse regional, topical, and functional areas.  Students may complete either an academic major or minor in International Studies, or a joint major with Business Administration, Catholic Studies, Communication, Economics, Environmental Studies, Political Science, Romance Languages and Spanish.  The program is inspired by the U.S. Catholic Bishops' statement on "Catholic Education and the Church's Pastoral Mission."
