The
International Studies program seeks to familiarise you with the global
community in which you live and to prepare you for careers involving
international interactions.
The major provides you with a variety of opportunities to explore
issues from economic, social, cultural and environmental perspectives.
Foreign language training and study abroad experiences are incorporated
into the program and special attention is given to British Columbia's
immediate international neighbours: the Pacific Rim countries, the
nations of the Circumpolar North, and the United States.
