About International Studies and Languages
The International Studies and Languages Division
comprises International Studies, Modern Languages, and Asian Studies. The aim of International Studies and Languages Division is to foster
international perspectives among Seaver College students and faculty
through curriculum, forums, and residential programs abroad.
International Studies is an interdisciplinary
major comprised of a sequence of courses in international politics,
economics, and communication. Students may further specialize in one
of seven functional or regional areas such as
Political Studies, International Management Studies,
International/Intercultural Communication Studies, Asian Studies,
European Studies, or Latin American Studies.
Modern Languages prepares students to interact successfully with native
speakers and develop perspective into another culture not otherwise
possible. The major is comprised of courses in language acquisition,
linguistics, rhetoric, literature and culture. Careers include
professional fields such as translation, interpretation, education,
missions, international business, foreign service, health services, and
social work. Modern Languages courses also meet Seaver College's
Foreign Language general education (GE) requirement.
Asian Studies offers courses
that fulfill both Pepperdine's Non-Western Cultures and Foreign Language GE
requirements. It also oversees the Asian Studies specialization of
International Studies.
