The International Studies Program offers an interdisciplinary curriculum to students interested in the international aspects of Arts and Sciences disciplines. Both a major and minor are available to qualified students. Course offerings are drawn from nearly all Arts and Sciences academic departments. A key goal of the Program is to provide students with the opportunity to combine insights from different disciplines so as to develop a broad understanding of international affairs.
The academic year 2009-10 marks the ninth year for the International Studies major, with 70 students now entering their senior year. As in past years, the International Studies minor continues to be one of the largest interdisciplinary minors at Boston College, with over 200 students currently enrolled.
