International Studies
at Miami University
Support the International Studies Program
With its interdisciplinary curriculum and study abroad requirement, the International Studies (ITS) Program at Miami University is committed to helping students gain a better understanding of the world. The ITS program is vital for a truly global education, and the number of ITS majors continues to grow each year. ITS is committed to providing our students with the necessary tools and experiences to be successful in their careers and as global citizens.
Through the generosity of donors to the ITS Program, we can continue to expand opportunities for Miami students to learn about the world and to experience living and studying abroad. Please consider how valuable a resource the ITS Program is to Miami University students and help us continue these efforts with a gift. There are several ways you can help us.
