The International Studies Minor is administered and supervised by the Committee on International Studies (CIS), an interdisciplinary faculty committee, centered in the College of Arts & Sciences. Programs of Study and Senior Projects must be approved by the committee.

Students entering the program may be advised by any member of the Committee on International Studies or by their Major adviser in collaboration with the CIS. The Program of Study should have either a topical or regional focus and courses in the Core Requirements should be selected from at least two disciplines outside the student’s major. Study Abroad is an important component of this Minor and students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the many opportunities for overseas study offered by Radford University or other institutions.

The content of the Minor will vary with each student. The following suggest some of the possibilities, but are not fully inclusive: The Role of Dance in Culture; Economics of Developing Countries, Japanese (or European) Studies, Educational Systems in Africa; the Politics of Fundamentalist Islam.

In this site you will find course requirements, sample programs, an evolving student page, committee information, RU & international research links, and contact info.
