University courses at International Studies - The Ohio State University

An academic unit of The Federation of the Colleges of The Arts and Sciences, the Undergraduate International Studies Program specializes in providing international and cross-cultural coursework at The Ohio State University. In cooperation with departments in several colleges, it offers undergraduates interdisciplinary major, minor and certificate qualifications built around courses on contemporary global issues and different world areas. The program itself was established in the aftermath of World War II to help provide a United States emerging from decades of isolationism with the knowledge of other world areas necessary for it to perform its new role as political superpower and economic engine of a devastated world. Its goals, then as now, include promoting world-mindedness, training for domestic vocations involving foreign relations, preparation for the foreign service, and advanced linguistic and cultural training to allow professional students of all types to be able to practice abroad.
