Major:
International Studies

My goal as an International Studies major is to leave college with the skills needed to create effective change and find innovative solutions on a global scale to the many issues and challenges our world faces. Without foresight and comprehension of how our decisions will most likely impact the international community, our generation cannot adequately resolve any major issues. The first step to improving the world we live in is educating ourselves and thinking critically about the diverse, complex, and incredible world we live in.

Double Major:
International Business & Management

I chose to be an International Business major because of all the opportunities it provides. It gives you not just a background in the business world but a foundation in the humanities as well. In the changing world economy, international business provides the flexibility to work in a variety of fields. My interests are leading me to the fields of international government organizations as well as the not-for-profit sector. At Fairfield, I have been able to explore these interests through the International Studies department as well as through the International Business/Studies Club and Sigma Iota Rho, the International Studies Honor Society. With International Business, the opportunities are endless and I encourage others to take advantage of them.
