Our world is becoming increasingly interconnected and interdependent due to rapid political, technological, economic, and environmental changes. Today's careers in the public, private, and non-profit sectors demand graduates who can reflect and understand how to solve global challenges created by the digital revolution, global supply chain structures, migration, and climate instability. The International Studies (INST) major at UNO is a program that weaves these different strands together and sets you apart from other candidates. It is an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Arts degree program that is individualized, flexible, and marketable, with a curriculum that focuses on developing cross-cultural competence, gaining foreign language proficiency, and cultivating an awareness and understanding of different regions and issues around the world.
