Major in International Studies The International Studies Major is ideal for students who wish to take an interdisciplinary approach to the world that lies beyond America. Building upon a core of at least 18 hours in history & political science, each student consults with her advisor to choose an additional 17-18 hours from courses in history and political science or other disciplines that offer insight into the contemporary global community. Each student should strive for fluency in one target language. This flexibility offers several advantages. Because many of the core and related courses will also count towards General Education and/or other programs, International Studies can be a sound and efficient base for adding a second major or minor. It fits especially well with International Business and with majors in Foreign Languages and Literatures. It is also the perfect major for students who intend study abroad, because virtually all courses taken abroad will count toward this major and the student will return with as many credit hours as she would have had she stayed at Meredith. All International Studies majors should plan to study abroad. Majors should also consider the U.N. Semester at Drew University, the International Relations semester at American University, and the many specialized courses available at NCSU. International Studies majors regularly go on to graduate school, and to jobs in international business, in travel and tourism, in the foreign service, in non-profit and non-governmental organizations, and in many other areas.
