International Studies Minor
The minor in international studies is accomplished through an integrated program of courses selected from the disciplines of foreign language, history, economics, sociology, political science, and geography. The program gives participants a broadened perspective of the modern world in order to prepare them for international careers in this country or abroad. Students in this program are encouraged to consider studying abroad. Information on study abroad is available through the Department of World Languages and Cultures, or the Study Abroad Office.
For Foreign Language majors, the international studies minor will be arranged through the Department of World Languages and Cultures. The chair of the department assists the student in planning for the minor and approves the selected schedule of courses.
