Concentrations – International Studies | Soka University International Studies The International Studies concentration (INTS) offers students the opportunity to better understand global challenges including conflict, injustice, racism, and poverty. Analyze Global Issues Rooted in the belief that understanding multifaceted global issues demands a variety of disciplinary lenses, International Studies offer a range of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary courses from a faculty trained in anthropology, economics, history, international relations, political science, and sociology. Students with a declared INTS concentration are required to take at least five INTS courses, three of which must be 300 or 400 level. The INTS concentration prepares students for both graduate school and careers in government, international organizations, business, and the non-profit sectors.
