Resources & Opportunities
Study abroad
Study abroad is not required for international studies majors, but it is strongly encouraged, and we’ve got plenty of options. Our programs range in length from two weeks to a full semester or even a year. In recent years, our majors have studied in Morocco, Japan, Scotland, Mexico, Spain and France.
Our Passport Program provides reimbursement for eligible students to get a U.S. passport if they do not already have one. In addition to covering the cost of application, we also assist with the paperwork, and we’ll even take your passport photo on campus.
