International studies is a great major. It’s interesting, you’ll learn a lot about the world, take classes in different areas, and it’s a great background for most graduate programs. You can work in the private or public sector.

Job opportunities can include:

Historian, lawyer, foreign service officer, economist, banker, international trade specialist, customs officer, translator/interpretor, market research analyst, travel agent, researcher, political scientist, public relations specialist, journalist, peace corps/VISTA worker, lobbyist, labor relations specialist, nonprofit organizations, etc.

Granted, most of the best jobs go to those with graduate degrees and experience, but that’s the case with most majors. Consider studying abroad for a semester or joining the peace corps. Both will broaden your horizons and offer you a chance to see the world. Do an internship to gain experience, network and help you in your job search later. And that’s without the additional benefit of a Spanish major or minor, which will open even more opportunities for you. But whatever you choose to major in, do what makes you happy and offers you opportunities. Good luck.

The good news is you don’t have to decide for a while what combination you want. The fact that you have it narrowed down will be a huge advantage! As far as a double major in international studies and Spanish you can do pretty much anything you want. Think any global company that deals with a Spanish speaking country. Good luck to you!

well, there’s always teaching. Spanish is a poor language for employment in any translation/sales field. there are simply too many Spanish speaking persons available, and all they need is a degree. consider adding a second language, then you become more valuable. obvious choices (which just happen to be the most difficult languages) would be Japanese/Chinese/German/Russian as these are our future trading partners, and, therefore, the languages where the most people are needed

Multilingual and a major in IS is perfect for the FBI. Definitely not 9-5 and very exciting. Government job – good benefits. Could go into forensic art. That would use all three of your interests.
