Welcome!
Welcome to the International Studies program at NC State - your passport to a world of knowledge, service and employment.
We are now more than ever intimately connected to a world of possibilities and challenges. In every facet of our individual and collective lives we shape this world just as we are deeply influenced by what transpires in its furthest corners.
To understand the intricacies of these connections is the first and essential step toward capitalizing on the opportunities of globalization and overcoming its problems. To speak the language of others, to appreciate the cultural diversity of our increasingly boundless societies, to understand the economic dynamics of global trade, and to follow the ever shifting geo-political lines are all indispensable tools for living, working and contributing to today’s world.
International Studies is an inter-disciplinary program in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at NC State which aims to provide students with these tools.
To learn what our graduates have accomplished during their time at NC State and what their plans are for the future, check out our International Studies Major Portraits.
