DEPARTMENTAL MAJOR/INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

Advisors: Professors Gould and Rittenberg (Economics and Business)

The Departmental Major/International Affairs option is designed to allow students the advantage of a traditional major along with development of an understanding of international affairs. It assumes that such an understanding begins to develop through study of a foreign language, an extended experience outside ones own country, and a familiarity with approaches which address the affairs of nations and peoples.

REQUIREMENTS

The requirements of the departmental major/international affairs option are as follows:

1. The requirements of the major

2. At least three units of credit for study outside the United States

3. Proficiency in a foreign language: For languages that are taught at the College, through 305; for other languages through the intermediate level. Students may meet this requirement through placement exams.

4. Three units of credit in courses that cover in a substantial way the foundations used to discipline to understand and compare the social affairs of nations and peoples and interaction among nations and peoples. See the International Affairs adviser for a list of approved courses.
