Welcome to International Studies!First, for visitors, a clarification of where you are. All of Macalester College has rich international dimensions, in almost every department and program on campus. Within this cornucopia, there are three key units: 1) The Institute for Global Citizenship houses a rich range of public, co-curricular, and community endeavors. 2) The International Center runs our study abroad programming and is home base for non-U.S. students. 3) International Studies, where you are now, is Macalester’s core academic home for fully transnational study. Whereas "International Studies" at most schools means only that subset of political science called International Relations, Macalester's International Studies draws ideas from across the whole spectrum: social sciences, humanities, sciences, and fine and performing arts. Combining language training, study abroad, and disciplinary focus within a demanding overarching global perspective, International Studies is useful preparation for virtually any endeavor. Many of our alumni go on to graduate or professional schools in the U.S. or abroad; others go directly into business, global development, or other fields; and many enter government or international-organizations work. The links on your left provide much information on our Department and several of the cognate units of the College. Welcome! |
