The International Studies Major

The International Studies Major is intended to provide for undergraduate students in another major with the opportunity for an integrated course of international study leading to a second baccalaureate major. This major is available only as a concurrent, or sequential major. The program includes 12 credits of foreign language study beyond the 12th-credit level or equivalent proficiency, an education abroad or equivalent work/internship experience, related advanced course work, and/or a senior course or project in International Studies. The language, international experience, and advanced study should be integrated around a thematic or geographical focus

The degree (e.g., B.A., B.S., B.F.A., B.B.A., etc.) will normally match that of the student's first major.

Students in baccalaureate degree programs other than those leading to the B.A. who desire a B.A. degree in International Studies will receive concurrent degrees and must fulfill all requirements for concurrent degrees and for the B.A. as indicated in the Bulletin.
