International Studies at CofC

International Studies at CofC The International Studies (IS) program is both an interdisciplinary and a multidisciplinary program.

The International Studies program at the College of Charleston emphasizes knowledge of regions across disciplines and time, providing students with the skills needed to become global citizens. To give the program strength and competitiveness, it draws from several disciplines; this gives students a multidimensional perspective to global development and issues. The IS major recognizes that a compre

hensive focus on international issues, foreign cultures, and societies is beyond the ability of any one discipline to provide. It emphasizes knowledge of regions across disciplines and time. Students of the IS minor (INST) will become acquainted with the international community.
