International Relations
“Holy Names taught me the importance of critical thinking. It prepared me to be a good communicator, it gave me a sense of responsibility and it gave me a global perspective – in part because of my major and HNU’s diverse student body.”
Steven Borg '86

Do the relationships between cultures and countries intrigue you? Do you want to be part of the solutions to today’s international problems?
