In addition to the coursework necessary to complete the International Studies major, students are expected to fulfill the First-Year Foundation and Foundational Abilities<\/a> requirements set forth by the university. Furthermore, students must complete at least 6 credits of Writing and Communication foundational ability coursework in one major. For the International Studies major, students would be able to fulfill this requirement by selecting 6 credits of elective courses in the major that are designated as Writing and Communications courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All courses taken for International Studies requirements must be completed with a grade of C- or better, and may not be taken satisfactory\/unsatisfactory. Consult the Academic Catalogue<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choices may include AS.180.101 Elements of Macroeconomics, AS.180.102 Elements of Microeconomics, the appropriate level of a foreign language, and one of the designated International Studies Gateway courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In completing the requirements below, students must fulfill an advanced coursework requirement<\/strong> comprised of 5 courses taken at or above the 300 level from the political science, economics, and\/or history requirements. The focus area and foreign language classes cannot count towards this advanced coursework requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courses with more than one subfield designation (e.g., both INST-IR and INST-CP) may not be double counted to fulfill both requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courses taken while studying abroad, and intending to count for the major, must receive approval from either the International Studies Program Director or Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
