16 November 1999
Trolling the University of Texas International Studies website led me to several links that deserve more exploration. At the very least, we should know how these organizations operate and what they offer:

• College Consortium for International Studies (Washington DC)
• Council on International Educational Exchange (see Faculty Programs --Faculty Development Seminars in particular)
• Institute for the International Education of Students
• American Institute for Foreign Study
• School for International Training
• International Student Exchange Program
• International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE)
• Centres for Academic Programmes Abroad via U. Pittsburgh. See also their page on General Internships Abroad

The Global Studies Program offers undergraduate students an opportunity for interdisciplinary and integrated study of the global system. The program explores key challenges in four vital areas: war, peace, and security; development, health, and human resources; the environment and natural resources; and human rights and social justice. Students may major in global studies, or they may complement their work in another field by pursuing a global studies certificate.

The program provides a suitable background for a variety of careers. Graduates of the program have found positions with international business and consulting firms, in government, with the World Bank, and with Washington, D.C.-based advocacy organizations. Others have gone into international law, domestic law, secondary education, and work with refugee organizations. Many have gone on for advanced degrees in a variety of fields, among them economics, Russian studies, Latin American studies, environmental engineering, public policy planning, social work, and geography.
