International Studies
In the age of globalization, it is more important than ever to understand geopolitical identities, positions, and business practices. International Studies offers students key insights into the current realities of world affairs and relations between global entities. International Studies offers a course map to get you major ready to transfer.
Course Maps
A course map is a quick guide to help students figure out which courses to take each quarter. Course maps were written by BC faculty, who have used their expertise to recommend specific courses students can take to achieve their academic or career goals. Students should meet with an advisor to learn more.
