Consonant
with NC State’s
goal of producing future
global leaders and
world citizens, the
College of Humanities
and Social Sciences
seeks to equip students
with the knowledge and
experiences needed to
be successful in an
international environment.
The College fosters
students’ international
awareness and understanding
of global diversity
with its International
Experiences programming,
through the development
of courses across the
curriculum with international
content, and by the
establishment of an
International Studies
major and minor and an International Studies Master degree. CHASS
offers a range of faculty-directed
study abroad experiences
and field schools that
span the globe, and
study abroad scholarships
to support students’ participation.
CHASS also partners
with Alexander Global
Village to bring its
faculty expertise to
an even broader audience,
and supports other University
efforts aimed at internationalization.
