International Studies at CofC

The International Studies (IS) program is both an interdisciplinary and a multidisciplinary program.

The International Studies program at the College of Charleston emphasizes knowledge of regions across disciplines and time, providing students with the skills needed to become global citizens. To give the program strength and competitiveness, it draws from several disciplines; this gives students a multidimensional perspective to global development and issues. The IS major recognizes that a comprehensive focus on international issues, foreign cultures, and societies is beyond the ability of any one discipline to provide. It emphasizes knowledge of regions across disciplines and time. Students of the IS minor (INST) will become acquainted with the international community.

We’d like to give a huge thank you to Tara Erica Moore in joining us September 14 for a screening of her award-winning documentary “Legacy: Apartheid’s Shadow” and constructive dialogue about its aftermath in a now democratic setting. The duality of transitioning from an institutionalized system and social norms, to one aiming towards unity and equality is a hard concept to capture and convey to a larger audience. For more follow her on instagram and check out her website. Thank you again Tara Erica Moore for your enlightening presence.
