The program will be the first in Central and Northern Luzon, positioning CLSU as a leader in innovative education focused on global issues. As the sixth undergraduate program under the College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS), the BAIS program is designed to cultivate professionals with a comprehensive understanding of international challenges that transcend national boundaries. The program complements the existing academic offerings of the university while also highlighting CLSU's commitment to addressing pressing global issues. Unique to CLSU BAIS is its integration of the key themes of sustainable development. The curriculum will not only equip students with critical and practical skills in culture studies, migration, and labor welfare within the global context but also provide them with the tools needed to engage meaningfully in discussions and actions surrounding global sustainability and development such as climate change, sustainable agriculture, biodiversity, and food security. Enrollment for the Bachelor of Arts in International Studies - Global Sustainable Development is set to begin next school year, 2025-2026.
