A degree in Foreign Languages and International Studies (FLIS) is an interdisciplinary major, focusing students’ attention on the global scene. The degree combines studies in two different cultures and languages with studies in
anthropology, communication, geography, history, political science, religion, and social issue. This gives students an overall picture of the global village and allows majors to enhance their career paths.
Through interdisciplinary studies, Foreign Language and International Studies (FLIS) majors gain an in-depth understanding of global culture, language, geography, history and politics. Students select one foreign language in which to master reading, writing
and verbal communication skills, while developing global competency through study abroad experiences, internship opportunities, and a diverse selection of courses such as international relations, human geography, world religions and intercultural
communications.
