he Minor in International Studies is an interdisciplinary minor meant to compliment any major on campus either by adding an international component to that major or by strengthening an existing international emphasis. The minor provides a broad overview of international issues while also permitting some degree of specialization on a particular issue or region of the world. These objectives are accomplished not only through a flexible selection of courses outside the major, but also through direct engagement that might include study abroad, internships, homestays, the study of foreign language and the development of a final senior project that allows the student to integrate learning from both major and minor into a project with an international focus.
