The interdependence of our world is ever more vividly illustrated in our political, economic, and civic lives. To prepare students to function effectively in that world, particularly in a profession that may not be related to international concerns, the School of Liberal Arts offers two programs: a certificate and a minor.

Certificate in International Studies

A total of 27 credit hours is required for the Certificate in International Studies; of those 27 credits, 12 must be in core requirements and 15 in elective courses. Transfer courses will be accepted on the same basis as in other liberal arts programs, but at least half of the credit must be earned on this campus. Prerequisite courses add additional credit hours not counted in the 27.

Prerequisites

Foreign Language Students must complete at least the equivalent of two years of modern language study (16 credit hours minimum) or demonstrate competence at that level to the appropriate language department. Written notification must be provided to the director. The goal of this requirement will be for students to attain a working knowledge of a language that complements their focus of study.

Geographic Competence Not later than the first semester of enrollment in the certificate program, the student will be required to demonstrate geographic competence by one of two methods:

  1. Completion of G355 Political geography or G331 Economic Geography with a grade of B or better.
  2. Proof to the geography department by presentation of a paper, or another method to be prescribed by that department, that the student is geographically literate.
Writing Proficiency Students will be expected to have completed composition instruction or demonstrated their proficiency equivalent to English W132 prior to admission.

Requirements

Core Curriculum (12 cr.)

  1. International economics: Economics E303 (3 cr.)
  2. History (two semesters, 6 cr.) according to one of the following patterns:
    1. Area courses consistent with an area emphasis, e.g., Western Europe, East Asia
    2. U.S. diplomatic history
  3. Political Science Y219 Introduction to International Relations (3 cr.)

Elective Courses (15 cr.)

Elective courses are to be selected from an approved list, which follows this section. The remaining 15 credits should conform to the following specifications:
  1. 12 credits with demonstrated focus, e.g., geographic area, comparative approach, etc.
  2. At least one advanced course in each of anthropology, history, economics, and political science.

Overall Program

Half of all credit hours must be at the 300 level or above. This may include courses taken to satisfy foreign language or writing proficiency requirements.

Writing Requirement

A substantial paper, which may be in a research, analysis, report, or other format appropriate to the subject under study, is expected. This may be presented in conjunction with a course, as a part of the integrating seminar, or arise from another stimulus. Its style, focus, and extent must be approved in writing by the program director in advance.

Examples of papers that would be appropriate to present in satisfaction of this requirement might include

  • an independent study that integrates perspectives from more than one discipline on a given topic
  • a research paper prepared in conjunction with a standard course that offers a particularly broad focus
  • a report produced as a consequence of study abroad that related to some previous academic study
  • completion of a major paper-either in the context of a course or as an independent project, or in conjunction with an acceptable overseas study program

Minor in International Studies

A total of 15 credit hours is required for the minor in international studies. In addition, a student must have completed the second year of a foreign language.

Requirements

Political Science Y219 Introduction to International Relations. 12 credit hours from at least three departments focusing either on a single topic (e.g., comparative systems) or a single geographic area (e.g., Latin America). Note: Other relevantcourses may be accepted from other schools as well.
