At Duke, the International Comparative Studies BS trains students to decode transnational flows—people, ideas, commodities—and design interventions that promote equity. Courses integrate political economy, cultural anthropology, and data visualization, while language immersion ensures nuanced understanding of local contexts. Field labs in Brussels, Nairobi, and Hanoi pair undergrads with NGOs and think tanks to co-research migration, tech supply chains, and climate diplomacy.
