Minor in International Studies

The LAS International Studies Committee offers a minor in international studies. The minor can be chosen from one of three areas: (1) world markets and development; (2) global cultures and societies; or (3) international security and governance. The minor, designed to complement a student’s major field of study, consists of 21 semester hours of course work that must be international, comparative, and contemporary in overall content.

Requirements for the Minor

Students interested in pursuing the minor in International Studies must select a faculty advisor from members of the LAS International Studies Advisory Committee. Students may use courses to fulfill the requirements in both the major and the minor, but the semester hours may only be used in one or the other.
