what will I study?

St. Kate’s international studies major provides a solid academic foundation, with courses drawn from the disciplines of economics, history and political science.

• In "History of Feminism in Western Society," you’ll trace the roots of modern feminism in Western Europe and the United States.
• A series of case studies in the "Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict" class will focus on topics such as citizenship, democracy and ethnicity.

You must complete at least one semester of study abroad in your junior year and take two foreign language courses beyond the intermediate level. (If you plan to work in foreign service, we encourage four courses in the same language.)
