International Studies

Concentrate Your Efforts

Thomas More's international studies degree is an interdisciplinary program designed to prepare you for a career in the contemporary world, striving to recognize and understand the complexities and problems of our world, and to offer meaningful, just solutions in line with our Christian values. With either the Bachelor of Arts or the Associate of Arts degree, you choose one area of concentration in European, East Asian or American (for non-native speakers of English) studies. The concentration you choose determines which foreign language you'll study.
