The international studies program is a university-wide venture that builds upon international perspectives from across the curriculum. Generally each academic year has a broad theme designed to illuminate various cultural issues. Recent themes covered issues involving Africa, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. The university's proximity to Washington, D.C., allows for visits to and from various foreign embassies and the U.S. State Department. A rather unique feature is an annual visit from the U.S. Army War College Current Affairs Panel, where War College students discuss current events from a personal perspective.
Any undergraduate student can declare international studies as a minor.
