Upon completion of the International Plan, students will be able to:

• discuss major international cultural, political, and economic processes and systems.

• communicate with confidence and specifics the practice of the student's major in a global context.
• utilize an understanding of the global economy and international relations.

These skills will better prepare students for a job in the increasingly competitive and interconnected world.

Students who complete the requirements for the International Plan and for their undergraduate major will be recognized by the designation "International Plan" on the transcript and diploma. For example, the diploma of a student majoring in mechanical engineering who completes the International Plan will read: "BS in Mechanical Engineering: International Plan."
