International and Global Studies Minor

Description

The International and Global Studies minor requires completion of 21 hours in courses that focus on topics outside the United States, regardless of academic discipline. An in-depth exploration of a particular international region or culture is encouraged but students may alternately identify a theme to guide study across varied international areas. Students will work with an IGS minor advisor to develop a written, intentional plan of study with rationales for the course choices. The student, the IGS advisor, and the Registrar will maintain copies of the minor plan.

Requirements

Included in the 21 hours: at least one study abroad course is required (immersion or semester abroad) and 9 cr must be at the 300-level or above. No more than 2 courses from the student’s University Studies or Major requirements may also be used for the minor. The IN 350 course used to satisfy the University Studies requirement may not be counted towards the minor. Contact one of the IGS minor committee members for advising: Dr. Laura Dean, Briana Stephens Quintenz, and Dr. Carrie Trimble
