Global Experience
A variety of coursework that is part of the international studies program is related to global experiences. The program benefits from: an outstanding set of cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary core and elective courses; a focus on combining the theoretical learning about social, political, economic and cultural developments in different world regions with hands-on applications of such knowledge by means of a foreign language requirement, a study abroad component, a senior assignment experience, as well as possibilities of internships and independent projects; and various opportunities to tap into existing and emerging groups and networks on the SIUE campus, regionally, nationally and internationally.
