The minor in international studies is designed to increase the global awareness and cross-cultural sensitivity of graduates. Students may focus on one of the three world regions: Latin America, Europe, or Asia.
The minor in international studies is an 18-hour program consisting of 1) a required core course, 2) one or two courses of upper-division directed electives dealing with global issues, 3) two courses in the world area of concentration, and 4) a travel-study course. If a student chooses not to concentrate in a world area, 9 hours must be taken from the list of directed electives. Courses taken to fulfill requirements for a major cannot be applied to the minor.
Students taking a minor in international studies must complete 6-8 hours in a modern foreign language before graduation. A student may demonstrate language proficiency by taking an examination in the chosen language.
