Ringkasan program

This program recognizes that a comprehensive focus on international issues, foreign cultures, and societies is beyond the ability of any one discipline to provide. The IS major draws from multiple disciplines to give students a multidimensional perspective to global development and issues. It emphasizes knowledge of regions across disciplines and time, providing students with the skills needed to become global citizens. The international studies (INTL) major is a both an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary program. The Latin America and the Caribbean concentration in international studies requires completion of 21 hours including a three hour core course, nine hours from the history and politics category, and nine hours from the literature, film and culture category with at least three hours in each of three disciplines.
