Why Study History: International Studies at EIU?

  • Work closely with faculty in small class settings
  • Prepare for a wide range of careers across almost every industry
"For starters, it is a school that is geographically very close to home, around an hour and fifteen minutes away, so I do like that aspect. ... With everything being so accessible on campus, it allows me to use my time management skills more efficiently, and I can move across campus at a quick, swift pace. Along with this, the school isn't very large in terms of enrollment, so my relationships with students, faculty, and administrators feel more personal compared to a bigger school"
