As we enter this \u201cglobal village,\u201d the acquisition of new skills, additional knowledge and wisdom will be necessary for effective citizenship and career aspirations. The International Studies program is designed to meet this challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The program focuses on the political, economic, and cultural interdependencies and their effects on people in the emerging global system. Interdisciplinary issues of war and peace, economic and political development, and cross-cultural communication are examined, as are global concerns of population, environment, and human rights. International Studies students become knowledgeable about another world culture, proficient in another language, and participate in an exciting and rewarding international credit-bearing experiential program. An extensive array of study abroad and international cooperative-education options are available, as well as internship and service learning placements. Students may consult their advisor or the International Education Office in the Roukema Center for International Education (ASB 123) to find out more about Study Abroad opportunities. Resources are also available on the web.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-277 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/hgs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/10012162166_6e611105c5_o-300x174.jpg\" alt=\"World map\" width=\"300\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/hgs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/10012162166_6e611105c5_o-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/hgs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/10012162166_6e611105c5_o-1024x592.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/hgs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/10012162166_6e611105c5_o-768x444.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/hgs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/10012162166_6e611105c5_o-1536x888.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/hgs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/10012162166_6e611105c5_o-100x58.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/hgs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/10012162166_6e611105c5_o-152x88.jpg 152w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/hgs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/10012162166_6e611105c5_o-165x95.jpg 165w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/hgs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/10012162166_6e611105c5_o.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Majors are required to fill an experiential learning requirement (ideally a semester-long study abroad, international cooperative education, internship or service learning).
