International Studies at Illinois Wesleyan University

The International Studies Program is Illinois Wesleyan University's largest interdisciplinary program. It is especially charged with advancing the university's educational mission of preparing students for democratic citizenship and life in a global society. It offers students the opportunity to internationalize their educational experience through a wide range of courses and activities that explore the relationships between global problems and local experiences.

We offer concentrations in African Studies, Asian Studies, Latin American Studies, Russian and East European Studies, Western European Studies, Development Studies and Diplomatic Studies.

For more information concerning the International Studies program and the areas of concentration, please visit About the Program.

The International Studies Student Handbook provides information  for each area of concentration.

The students in the 2008-09 IS 240: Introduction to International Studies class discovered through group presentations many compelling images of graffiti that captures the essence of both art and resistance, as they are expressed in global terms. To view these images, click here.
