Global Character, Global Impact
Find out how an undergraduate degree from SIS can start your career of global impact.
It was very important to dedicate my career to something that was impactful.
Because of the location of SIS in Washington, DC, I was afforded the opportunity to have internships at different organizations that helped shape my career. My advice is to make use of SIS’s connections and location to be able to work for organizations that mean something to you and that inspire you.
When you should apply to the program depends on whether you are transferring from another college or university, whether you are a domestic or international student, and in what semester you want to start taking classes.
The BA in International Studies provides students with a curriculum that is firmly rooted in the liberal arts and sciences, inherently interdisciplinary, and aimed at helping students to think critically and clearly about the most pressing global challenges. Our graduates find positions in national, state, and local governments; they enter the private sector; and they join nonprofit organizations and NGOs. Some have started their own international development nonprofits; some work with countries undergoing post-conflict transition; and some work in government agencies doing everything from policy analysis to resources requirements and finance. They have two things in common: they are all extraordinary, and they all started their careers with a BA in International Studies from SIS.
