Center for International Studies
The Center for International Studies is an interdisciplinary academic center which coordinates all international academic activities at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.
Mission
The term ‘global village’ and many other concepts like it have been tossed around since the mid-20th century. In recent years, communication between nations, cultures, and communities have increased exponentially. We are connected to each other in more ways and more often than ever before – and there is still so much to learn.
- Serve as a focal point for international education activities at Parkside.
- Provide interdisciplinary academic programs to all students on campus
- Support and foster internationalization on campus.
- Provide an environment conducive to intercultural learning & exchange of ideas.
- Foster opportunities to develop a global perspective fundamental to full participation in the world.
- Encourage scholarly activities in response to local, national and global communities.
Featured Program or Certificate
Studying abroad, working abroad, or doing an internship abroad is an excellent complement to the major, minor, or certificate programs and can be a rewarding and life-changing experience for any student.
