Intercultural Studies

Majoring in intercultural studies offers students with a special interest in non-Western countries a chance to design their own major based on a course of study that focuses on a specific region or country. All intercultural studies majors are encouraged to study abroad in the area of the world that they are studying.

Meghan Curran fell in love with Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) Studies. While Wofford does not have a MENA major, Curran was able to follow her passions through the intercultural studies major. “I was able to essentially build my own program of study to combine my many academic interests,” says Curran. She is pursuing a master’s degree in human rights and multiculturalism at the University of South-Eastern Norway.
