International Studies

International studies is a field that has increasingly received recognition and specialization, not only in liberal arts colleges but also in public institutions due to the need for experts in the new globalization era as the world is more interlinked than ever before (Brown, & Smallman, 2011). International studies focus more generally on studying and understanding societies, cultures, languages, and systems of government hand in hand with international relations, which focuses on the political, economic, and military interactions between nations. This study facilitates appreciation of culture, religion, history, and other factors influence the present across the globe (Brown, & Smallman, 2011). They also identify and establish major global trends in a multidisciplinary way that draws focus on faculty and ways of looking at the world from an enlightened perspective.
