Courses from these disciplines and an internship with a government agency, a non-governmental international agency, or an international corporation comprise the core requirements of the program. Students in this program may pursue one of two concentrations. They can focus on any one of the college’s four area studies (Africana Studies, Asian Studies, European Studies, and Latin American and Caribbean Studies) or they can focus on a topical theme reflecting a particular interest (such as Diplomacy and International Organizations; Economic and Environmental Issues; Ethnicity, Nationalism, and Migration; and Peace & Justice Studies). Other topical themes may be developed by individual students in consultation with faculty advisors and the director of International Studies.
