Basic Information (Description):
The major in International Studies is an adjunct major, which means that students must complete a primary major in any of the school’s departments. Students must also satisfy the two year of study language requirement. Students are to organize their studies around one general theme or “thematic cluster:” in Culture & Society, Global Commons, International Political Economy and Development, or Issues in International Security. The major seems like a re-organized version of an old structure. This is a significant change for the better, of course, keep it up.
