Bachelor [International Studies] From Vassar College

Although the international studies major is flexible, there are specific requirements for majors to follow to ensure a coherent plan of study. Majors must complete work at the advanced seminar level in two departments in addition to course work at the intermediate level in at least one other department, and complete a thesis by the end of senior year. In addition, our majors must demonstrate proficiency in a language corresponding to the geographic area selected by the student as his or her area of focus.To further advance their understanding of their chosen geographic area, majors in the International Studies Program typically spend all or part of their junior year at academic institutions overseas. In the last several years our students have attended universities in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Cameroon, China, England, France, Italy, Germany, Russia, Morocco, Madagascar, Malaysia, Taiwan, and South Africa.
