International Affairs at Marquette University

As the countries of the world have become more economically, socially and politically interdependent, governments and businesses have increased the demand for people with the skills and knowledge to cross cultural boundaries. Marquette's interdisciplinary major in international affairs combines the strengths of the university's departments of Political Science and Economics, along with course work in history, philosophy, theology and anthropology to give you the knowledge and skills required to cross borders and work with diverse cultures. The international affairs major allows you to choose among many subfield specializations: area studies (Asian, European, Latin American or Third World); cross-cultural studies (foreign language courses in civilization and culture); international communication; international economic relations; international political-military relations or peace studies.
