Important Note: The minor requirements described below are in effect for all students admitted to Indiana
University beginning Summer 03 onward.
Students curently fulfilling the old minor requirements (the one that was administered by
the Center for the Study of Global Change) may fulfill the old requirements of the minor as
stated in the
2000-2002 Bulletin and 2002-2004 Bulletin, OR they may
choose to fulfill the new requirements described
below.
Students electing the minor in International Studies will pursue a
customized selection of courses. [To see what courses are being offered in spring 04 click here.]
Requirements:
The minor comprises at least 15 credit hours of College of Arts and Sciences course work including the following:
1. I100 (3 credit hours).
2. Two introductory International Studies courses (6 credit hours) chosen from the seven 200-level core courses
(I201, I202, I203, I204, I205, and I206), which serve as
gateways into each of the seven thematic concentrations. One of these two core courses must introduce the
thematic concentration in which the student chooses to focus (see #3 below).
3. Students must choose two approved electives at the 300-400 level (6 credit hours) in one of the seven thematic concentrations in which they wish to
focus. These thematic concentrations are Culture and the Arts, Global Environment, Global Integration and Development, Human Rights
and Social Movements, International Communication, and Nations, States and Boundaries.
4. If students choose coursework outside the College in partial fulfillment of their concentrations, they will need to take
additional College of Arts and Sciences approved electives in the thematic concentration to bring the minimum total of
College
of Arts and Sciences hours in the minor to 15.
Note: For students earning degrees through the College of Arts and Sciences (where there is a four-semester
foreign language
requirement),
completion of that foreign language requirement does not need to be linguistically-related to the students' International Studies
coursework.
Courses taken to fulfill minor requirements may be cross-listed with courses taken to fulfill students' requirements in their
major.
Declaring the minor
Students are encouraged to stop in during walk-in hours, M-F, 8:30-9:30 and 3-5:00 pm on Mondays to declare International Studies as a minor. Declaring a minor takes only a few minutes.
