The International Studies (IS) Major is an interdisciplinary undergraduate program situated within the UW-Madison International Division. At the core of the International Studies Major is a fundamental recognition that the world outside of the United States, and the Global North, matters. In international Studies we seek to understand not only how global forces are impacting nations, communities, and individuals, but also how different forces are reshaping the globe while impacting each other. This leads to the Major’s emphasis on the way that global challenges such as poverty, insecurity, mental health, and climate change are intertwined.
Our team of faculty, staff, and instructors work collaboratively across the International Division and the UW-Madison campus to holistically support our students? personal, academic, and professional development. We value and uplift the unique perspectives, lived experiences, and identities our students bring to our program.
This job will support the mission of the IS Major through academic advising of 300+ undergraduates, developing and implementing student programming, and managing the data needs of both the IS Major and the Institute for Regional and International Studies (IRIS) more broadly as they maintain compliance with federal and international grant mandates.
