国际 & 区域研究

关于国际 & 区域研究计划

In response to the unique challenges of global interdependence, the 国际 Studies program offers several AOC options. 国际 & 区域研究 (IAS) concentration is designed to meet the need for a new generation trained to enter the international arena with a comprehensive view of the international system and an in-depth understanding of a major region or issue in world affairs.

The IAS area of concentration offers three tracks to both meet a range of student interests and provide solid training for future study or work in the area. The “area studies” track combines fundamental courses on the international political and economic systems with the student’s choice of specialization in a regional area; the “systemic track” focuses on a deeper understanding of the international political and economic systems; and the “issue” track is designed for students with a specific interest in a major international issue that affects more than one region, e.g. 全球卫生问题或和平与冲突.

In addition to these three tracks in the IAS AOC, we offer separate AOCs in 加勒比和拉丁美洲研究, 东亚研究, 和欧洲研究. These AOCs are designed for students with intensive interests in one of these regions and less of a focus on the international system. 学生 are free to concentrate in other regional areas either under the IAS area studies track or as an individually designed major.

国际 & 区域研究, 亚洲研究, 加勒比和拉丁美洲研究, 东亚研究, 和欧洲研究 are also very appropriate joint AOCs for students combining them with disciplinary AOCs, so we offer a reduced set of requirements for those options.

With approximately 100 funding opportunities directly related to 国际 & 区域研究 currently available to our students, there are plenty of chances for extended research and study abroad within our program! 看到 CEO奖学金数据库 了解更多信息.

每个月的第三个星期三, the IAS Program hosts its Global Wednesday Talk (GWT) series from 4-5 pm. 从单个扬声器到小型面板, speakers from on and off campus alike come to present on a range of topics related to the international sphere. GWTs provide a space for direct audience engagement and post-talk discussion. 有关主题及地点的详情，请 点击这里了解更多.

“I dream of developing a career in international development, foreign service or global journalism. 作为欧盟的神经中枢, 北约与跨大西洋外交, Belgium will offer me the opportunity to be immersed in a diverse international community central to my goals. 作为第一代, 低收入家庭的学生, I am so excited to have an opportunity to see more of the world and chase my dreams.”
