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.
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" :
"Because the unity of all people under God our Father is a fundamental principle of Catholic theology, an international point of view should be evident on the Catholic campus. Modern means of transportation and communication make possible a closer union of the peoples of the world by diminishing the distances that separate us. The way is being prepared for the familial closeness, the mutuality of service and the union of hearts which lie at the core of the Gospel and to which the human family is called. The present climate of competition hostility, and violence must be replaced by a constructive sharing of the earth's goods in a secure and peaceful environment. This suggests that international studies have an important place in the curriculum." |
