The International Studies Program provides Ohio State's undergrads with the internationally-focused coursework to understand the world as it is today. We are part of the College of Arts & Sciences, and in cooperation with other colleges across campus, we offer interdisciplinary majors and minors that lead to a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science. Whether you're interested in world affairs, area studies, global business, or security & intelligence, we have a program for you.
