Students in the International Area Studies Department engage in multidisciplinary study of a geographical region of the world. The course of study integrates several academic disciplines, language proficiency, cultural literacy, and residential experience abroad. International Area Studies majors are independent students with maturity, a sense of adventure, an enquiring mind and the desire to experience foreign cultures. Immersion in another culture expands your understanding of the human experience and permanently enrich your life.

The International Relations program at Canisius College is a multidisciplinary program that is anchored in the Departments of History, Modern Languages and Political Science but also includes courses in international business, economics, religious studies, philosophy and other academic disciplines. The goals of the program are to provide the International Relations major with a basic understanding of the issues, functions and theories of the international system and to cultivate skills in research, writing, critical thinking and oral presentation that are necessary for success in a career in the fields of international affairs, international business, law, education and academia. Students majoring in International Relations must also satisfy a requirement for an International Educational Experience. Each student’s program is structured to maximize options after graduation. Completion of the major program will lead to a bachelor of arts degree in International Relations.

Admission
The International Relations major and minor are open to any student who has completed PSC 140 (Introduction to International Relations) with a minimum grade of C. A minimum overall average of 2.00 in all courses taken to complete the major or the minor is required for program completion.

In our fast-paced, increasingly interdependent world, the problems and policies of each nation have repercussions that are felt far beyond its borders. Whether the issue is climatic change caused by carbon dioxide emissions or the rights of workers in factories owned by transnational corporations, decision makers in government and industry must now consider how their actions will affect people and places around the globe. As an international relations major, you will draw from a variety of academic disciplines to gain a more complete picture of the issues and traditions that shape regions and nations.
Real World

International relations majors are prepared to embark on exciting careers in many areas related to transnational issues and concerns. Many have found employment with federal government agencies such as the Foreign Service, international or non-governmental organizations such as the United Nations or companies conducting business or finance operations internationally.
Major Requirements

After completing lower-division work in the social sciences and in a foreign language, you will select an emphasis for your advanced study. You may choose to focus on world trade and development; peace and security; global environment, health and natural resources or peoples and nationalities. You will specialize in one region of the world: Western Europe, Russian and East/Central Europe, Asia and the Pacific, Latin and South America or Africa and the Middle East. You may also take advantage of UC Davis’ extensive Education Abroad Center programs to gain firsthand experience in another country.

A Student Perspective

This major has really prepared me for life after college. My classes require quite a bit of reading and processing information, and I know I’ll benefit from all my writing experience. These skills will help me pursue a career in international law.

A Faculty Perspective

A liberal arts major, like international relations, provides students with the building blocks to create their own futures. The key to success in a career or graduate study is having exposure to what you want to do and having the skills to be able to pursue it. A major in international relations provides you with both.
