Requirements for the Minor
Students minoring in International Studies must complete a total of seven courses.
Four of these are core courses. Three core courses form a coherent group coming (one each) from
- Political Science,
- Economics, and
- Philosophy
the fourth core course provides
- critical inquiry into cultural differences.
The core courses form the base from which students can then concentrate their study in one of five tracks:
- International Politics,
- International Economics,
- Social Justice,
- Area Studies, or
- Language and Arts
Within a track, students choose three electives from among a range of courses drawn from the Social Sciences and Humanities. The three electives should demonstrate coherence and be approved by an advisor from the Center for International Studies.
