What is an international studies major? The international studies major is designed for students who seek a broad course of study focusing on the modern world that is different from traditional academic settings. Our program encourages students to view the world from different perspectives and consider social, political, economic, historical and cultural processes, power relations and linkages that connect individuals, communities, states, and regions.

We educate students in understanding the world outside the United States so that they can better serve as informed citizens in a democratic society and also as professionals in careers spanning national boundaries. To expand their horizons, we encourage a foreign academic experience for our students, and all students in this major must demonstrate proficiency in a non-English language.

Students work with a major advisor to choose courses on a specific region of the world or an international topic as a program of study.

After more than 10 years of leadership and service to the literacy studies doctoral program and Salisbury University, Dr. Judith Franzak is retiring! Judi’s steadfast approach to fostering genuine relationships, grounded in collegiality, collaboration, and a commitment to excellence, has been invaluable in shaping the Ed.D. program’s growth, success, and future. Her impact can be seen in the program’s curriculum, the rigor and quality of student research, and the strong partnerships built across campus. Thanks to her dedication and the shared vision she fostered, the Ed.D. program has become a vibrant scholarly community that will continue to carry these values forward.

In celebration, we are excited to announce the establishment of the Judith K. Franzak Literacy Studies Endowment for doctoral students presenting their research at national or international conferences. This endowment is named in recognition of Judi’s legacy as an unwavering advocate and champion for the professional development and success of doctoral students, promoting their growth as scholars, educators, and leaders in the field of literacy education.
