International Studies

The University of South Alabama International Studies Program breaks the traditional mold to offer a multi-disciplinary and multi-college program designed to prepare students for the needs of today’s global society.  Students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies degree at South refine their knowledge in foreign language, history, political science, geography and more to receive broad training in regional studies or international relations. This major provides a unique combination of course work and opportunities outside of the classroom, through internships and study abroad, to become competent in our globalized world.
