Any course approved by individual area studies curricula will count as
an area studies course for the International Studies major, provided:
1. It
meets the contemporary focus requirement, as stipulated in the Course Requirements section of the website. Only courses that predominantly
cover material from the latter part of the nineteenth century to the
present will qualify.
2. The
predominant focus of the course is not language instruction. Courses that are predominantly
language instruction will NOT count as area studies courses for the
International Studies major.
3. The
course must have the appropriate geographical content. Courses that are not area-specific, even if they appear on the area studies
websites' lists, will NOT qualify as INTS area courses.
4. Do
not assume that courses on Area
Studies Websites (also see step 2, below, under course selection and
listings) automatically count as area courses with International Studies.
