Longwood University offers an International Studies minor for
those students who wish to devote a part of their education to learning about
societies other than their own; it aims to give interested students an
opportunity to supplement their academic major with a concentration of studies
which will enhance an understanding of the larger world in which we must live
and work.
Students who wish to participate in the minor should contact
Dr. Lily Anne Goetz, Director of International Affairs, in Ruffner 146.
