Department of Comparative International Studies

Think Globally. Challenge Perspectives. Engage Here.

The Department of Comparative International Studies provides an interdisciplinary understanding of global forces across the humanities and social sciences. 

We offer a major in Comparative International Studies that prepares students for a diverse global world. Students compare two regions, study a non-English language, gain international experience through study abroad, and conduct research, building skills to work across social, cultural, and economic environments.

We also offer five minors in language and cultural studies, open to all majors, that provide valuable international expertise: European Studies, French, German, Italian, and Russian.
