Within this Concentration, there are four Options: Asian Studies, European Studies, Middle East/North Africa Studies, and Latin American Studies. OPTION CHECKSHEETS: What is the focus and purpose of International Studies? This program focuses on the diverse civilizations of cultural areas outside North America. With the expansion of communication and transportation technologies, the world today is richly interconnected. International Studies, a coherent formal program of study that includes both disciplinary and multidisciplinary perspectives, gives students powerful tools for understanding this world. As an International Studies major, you will start with a core set of All-University Core Curriculum courses, a set that is similar to—but not identical to—that for students in other Liberal Arts concentrations or in other majors in this and other colleges. Within the AUCC you will be required to take these specific courses in the described categories. In AUCC categories not mentioned you can take anything that is in the AUCC. 1B: Mathematics: Select 3 credits from MATH117, 118, 124, 141, 155, or 160 2A: Additional Communication: Select from CO300, CO301A-D, CO302, or JTC300 3C: Social/Behavioral Sciences: Select ECON202: Principles of Microeconomics 3E: Global & Cultural Awareness: Select POLS241: Comparative Government & Politics For a list of AUCC requirements consult the All-University Core Curriculum page. Within the Concentration, you will be required to complete 24 credits from three "track" areas, two semesters of upper division foreign language in an area relevant to your option area, Introduction to Geography, two courses in history for your option area, and two classes in International Studies (INST). Two INST courses, INST 300 and INST 492 fulfill Category Four of the AUCC ("Depth and Integration"). If this is your only major or your primary major, these are the courses you will use for that University requirement. All requirements for Category Four must be fulfilled within a single major. If this is NOT your first major you are still required to take INST 300. If you decide to take INST 492 we can substitute it as a Track Course. |
You will select 24 credits in course work from tracks within your Option. You will take classes from three tracks, while making sure that you 1) take at least 6 credits from track one and two and 2) at least 3 credits from track three and 3) have at least three different course prefixes (among the three tracks together). Finally, take enough electives to meet your 120 total minimum credit requirement for graduation. Be aware of the University requirement that 42 of your 120 total credits must be upper-division (courses numbered 300 or 400) and that 30 of these must be earned in residence at CSU. (Courses in a pre-approved study abroad program qualify as in-residence credits.) |
