A GLOBAL EDUCATION
International Studies students prepare themselves for careers in a global environment by developing intercultural understanding and focusing on themes of global significance. The International Studies B.A. program (ISBA) has grown significantly since its creation in 2002. Over 400 undergraduate students pursued International Studies as a major in 2010, either alone or paired with another area of study. ISBA degrees are granted by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. A much smaller, personalized M.A. program is also available through the Graduate College, and both degrees are administered through International Programs with student support offered by the Office of Academic Programs and Services.

But UI students aren’t the only ones who can benefit from global education opportunities. Through the Autonomous Language Learning Network, members of the UI community can independently study languages not otherwise offered on campus. With 43 languages to choose from, the program is especially helpful to those preparing for international research and travel. The community is also able to study less-commonly taught languages with instruction from the Fulbright Language Teaching Assistants (FLTAs), who arrived at the UI in August, 2010, from Turkey, India, Tunisia and Indonesia. They are teaching courses in their native languages and serving as cultural ambassadors on campus and in the community.
