The BA in International Studies affords an opportunity for students to find their truest vocations, to discover their passions, and to become active and engaged citizens in a complex global world that defies simple explanations or solutions. The sequencing of the BA in International Studies is designed to give students a firm grounding in the breadth of the international studies field, as well as solid research skills, before they further develop their own research and substantive interests. This program offers eight thematic areas: Environmental Sustainability and Global Health, Foreign Policy and National Security, Global and Comparative Governance, Global Inequality and Development, Identity, Race, Gender, and Culture, Justice, Ethics, and Human Rights, Peace, Global Security, and Conflict Resolution and The Global Economy. The Global Inequality and Development Thematic Area directly addresses issues concerning the theory and practice of achieving equitable and sustainable human development. Courses will encompass a broad examination of issues related to poverty and inequality as they intersect with urban and rural geographies, the built and natural environment, food systems, conflict, education, gender, youth and development, and possibilities for bilateral and multilateral cooperation. This area will include historical analysis of the field of development studies from colonialism through the present with a focus on understanding and analyzing conflicts, shared goals, and normative values embedded in development objectives.
