Who We Are
The International Studies BA is an interdisciplinary program where students gain both the contemporary and historical understanding of global cultures, languages, economics and politics, which allow them to acquire critical skills for successful work in globalized and other culturally diverse settings.
The International Studies program is unique because:
- Our ideal academic balance between politics, culture, history, economics and geography, where students develop a wide range of transferable, career-ready skills.
- Access to our internship program with dozens of Seattle’s internationally oriented organizations.
- Small classes in an inclusive environment, taught by faculty from a range of backgrounds and nationalities.
- Faculty advisors that help you tailor courses to your needs and future career pathways.
- Study abroad opportunities with access and support for scholarships.
How to Help
Donations to the International Studies program will help improve students’ ability to gain hands-on experience locally and abroad. The funds would help cover study abroad expenses (i.e., air fare, program fees, etc.), especially for those students that haven’t had the opportunity to travel abroad before. Funds could also cover stipends for students to work as research assistants in SU faculty-led international research projects.
