International Studies 
The major in international studies introduces students to contemporary international systems and the complex political, economic, and cultural factors that affect relations among nations. Students majoring in international studies will acquire a knowledge of particular world areas and international issues, as well as the ability to work in at least one of the major languages of those areas. The acquisition of a high level of proficiency in the chosen language is an important component of this major. The student may emphasize either political science, economics, history, or sociology. The major is designed to prepare Wells students to assume professional roles in our complex global environment.

The number of courses required for the major is 17 (50-53 semester hours). At least six of these courses must be at the 300-level or above.
