International Studies majors complete four foundational courses and area, topical, and elective courses.  Area, topical, and electives courses are based in departments and programs throughout the university.  The International Studies program offers its own independent study and senior project courses.

 

INTL 399. International Studies Colloquium (3)

Students analyze topics relevant to the foreign geographic area and broad theme they have chosen for their major foci. To do so, they draw on their international experience, knowledge acquired through a foreign language, and prior coursework for the major. Students share their conclusions in the seminar itself and in a public presentation.  Preparation for this course should begin once the major is declared.  Guidelines can be viewed here.
