The 国际研究 major builds upon collaborative and interdisciplinary relationships that have developed since the program was launched as a minor in 2005. 国际研究 has been offered as a major at Bryn Mawr since 2012.

国际研究 engages students in inter- and multidisciplinary coursework that will prepare them for career opportunities in areas such as:

• 公共政策
• 国际政治、关系和外交
• 国际法和国际机构
• 跨国或政府间机构
• 医学
• 经济学
• 新闻
• 发展

The program also provides a foundation for students interested in entering graduate programs in fields such as international politics/relations, international political economy/development studies, 国际法和国际机构, 还有组织理论和领导力.

国际研究 is the study of relationships among people and states affected by increasingly permeable borders and facing global issues. 国际研究 aims to prepare students to be responsible citizens by introducing them to issues of importance in an increasingly interdependent world of global dynamics in politics, 经济学, 的想法, 语言, 和文化. 在布林茅尔, 国际研究 combines applied and theoretical approaches by drawing from disciplines in both the 社会科学 and Humanities. This broad conception of 国际研究 distinguishes our program from many others. 它建立在政治课程的核心之上, 经济学, 和道德, 哲学的一个分支, and then incorporates electives from specified tracks that reflect areas of strength in faculty research and teaching. It allows students to explore the descriptive and normative aspects of living in a world characterized by the deep interconnections of a globalized world. It thus draws on Bryn Mawr's longstanding interest in promoting justice with its already established coursework at the undergraduate level and at the 研究生 School of Social Work and Social 研究 and on its well established programs in 语言s 和文化s.

The curricular content is relevant in preparing graduates to participate critically and effectively in the many integrated transnational and global institutional networks of production, 服务, 创造性表达, 研究和治理. 人文专业的学生, 社会科学, or Sciences can benefit from a visible and structured flow of courses in 国际研究. The inter and multi-disciplinary approaches reflected in the structure for the major as well as for the minor reflect the kind of integrative thinking that is necessary for effective agency in the globalized world economy and society. Students in 国际研究 will be made aware of both the distinct modes of inquiry that may transcend disciplines and the cumulative effects of convergent examinations of phenomena from these different disciplinary perspectives.

国际研究 engages students in the necessarily inter- and multi-disciplinary coursework that will prepare them for productive roles in transnational or intergovernmental institutions and in the areas of public policy, 法律, 治理, 公共卫生, 医学, 业务, 外交, 新闻, 和发展. 课程 cover both theoretical perspectives and empirical issues in different areas of the world. 国际研究 at Bryn Mawr provides a foundation for students interested in pursuing career opportunities in these areas or in entering graduate programs such as International Politics/Relations, International Political Economy/发展 Studies, 国际法与国际机构, 组织理论与领导力.

A Bryn Mawr graduate in 国际研究 will be:

• Capable of integrative analysis from different disciplinary perspectives
• 道德文化
• 为法律等相关领域的工作做好准备, 公共卫生, 医学, 业务, and 新闻 as well as for graduate study in International Politics/Relations, International Political Economy/发展 Studies, 国际法与国际机构, 组织理论与领导力
• Able to contribute their knowledge and leadership skills within governmental and nongovernmental organizations at transnational, 区域, 或者在全球层面上，或者在跨文化背景下.

Although 语言 study is not required per se for the major or the minor, students can take advantage of Bryn Mawr's traditional strength in the study of 语言 和文化 to enhance their study of non-Anglophone areas of the world. Those intending to study abroad in a non-Anglophone area must meet the level of proficiency required by the Junior Year Abroad program involved; and those intending to undertake graduate work in international studies should plan to acquire the advanced level of proficiency in one foreign 语言 (at the time of admission or graduation) required by the most selective programs here and abroad. 从2005年开始, the minor in 国际研究 has attracted a significant number of 语言 majors who use their study of a particular 语言 to select a coherent set of electives under a relevant track in the minor in order to pursue career and study opportunities in the international arena.
