International Affairs
The International Affairs program provides students with a set of intellectual tools and practical skills to engage in a continually changing world as effective, knowledgeable, and ethical citizens.
The International Affairs Program provides an intellectually vibrant and inclusive environment for everyone at Lafayette College. Students learn about globalization through the study of specific world regions and focused themes, linked by a core set of courses. Our engaging and rigorous curriculum, coupled with the thought-provoking co-curricular programming, brings together faculty and students from the Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Engineering.
