The World Needs Ambassadors, Catalysts & Changemakers

The world needs you.

The 21st century's challenges — wars, pandemics, poverty, pollution, food insecurity and climate change — impact communities around the globe and touch each of our lives.   

Today's complex problems require us to work together, communicate across cultures, and collaborate across different disciplines to create solutions and transformative change.

At the OHIO Center for International Studies, you’ll gain academic and practical skills to thrive in a globally diverse and interconnected world.
