International Studies (int stud
The International Studies Program offers opportunities for students to gain an understanding of other cultures through study abroad, as well as through an interdisciplinary Minor in International Studies.
International Studies Minor
Longwood University offers a minor in International Studies, combining courses in the social sciences, humanities, arts, and sciences, for those students who wish to devote a part of their education to learning about societies other than their own. Many students combine their interdisciplinary focus in International Studies with a major in a field such as Political Science, Economics, Business, Foreign Language, History, or English, in preparation for careers in international service, business, non-governmental organizations, foreign service, the Peace Corps, and for pursuing graduate work. Students may also pursue courses in the minor during study abroad in summer or semester programs, while acquiring first-hand experience with life and work in another culture.
Students who wish to participate in the International Studies minor should contact Dr. Lily Anne Goetz, Director of International Affairs, goetzla@longwood.edu.
