International Studies at UNF is an academic program and the center of an interdisciplinary community of faculty, students and staff from across the campus. Together we examine the economic, environmental, cultural, political and technological forces that shape today's world. The program offers a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies, designed to provide students with the disciplinary knowledge and practical skills to engage with contemporary issues and compete in today's global workplace. Students interact with other cultures through foreign language study and academic experiences abroad, and gain hands-on experience through internships, both within the US and abroad. Students in International Studies tend to be open-minded, creative problem solvers, who are united by their interest in language, culture and global affairs. They are diverse, however, in their backgrounds and the academic and professional directions they follow upon completion.
