Program Statement

The International Studies major consists of an integrated group of courses reflecting international aspects of various disciplines. It is designed to provide the student with a broad base of understanding of the interrelationship of the world community, while at the same time providing the opportunity to specialize in an area of interest. A minor in International Studies is also offered.

The International Studies major consists of a lower division requirement of eighteen to nineteen (18-19) units in International Studies, Culture and Society, Geography, Economics, Political Science, and Humanities, plus a foreign language requirement. The upper division requirements include a methods course, a twentieth century History course, and two INTS courses (a senior seminar and an international field experience). The student will complete the major with twelve to sixteen (12-16) units of international coursework with a particular emphasis.
