International studies (INTS) majors must complete
all requirements of the General
College. For the
major, international studies majors must take a total of 10 courses. All
majors are required to take INTS 210 as the gateway core course. Of the remaining
nine elective courses, three are core courses representing a variety of
disciplinary approaches to international and global issues. The three core
courses must each come from different academic departments. The other six
courses comprise the student's concentration in either area studies or
international studies (see below). Of these six courses, four must be above
the survey level (courses numbered 200 and above). No courses fulfilling
major requirements may be taken pass/fail. All courses counted toward the
major must have a substantially contemporary focus. The degree offered is
Bachelor of Arts in International and Area Studies. Click
here to download the brochure, "Majoring in International and Area
Studies." Please be sure to also review the Undergraduate
Bulletin.
A. The student who concentrates in international studies will select
four courses that explore one of the four thematic concentrations: 1)
international politics, nation states, social movements; 2) global
economics, trade, development; 3) global health and environment; and 4)
transnational cultures, identities, arts. In addition, two courses are
required that are substantially grounded in a world area (see B, below),
exemplifying the transnational issues explored in the international theme.
B. The student who concentrates in area studies will select four courses that focus
on a single world area. The world areas are: Africa, Asia, Latin America, Middle East, Western Europe/European Union, and
Russia/Eastern Europe. In addition, two courses are required in one of the
four thematic concentrations (see A, above) in order to contextualize the
student's area-based knowledge.
International studies majors must earn credit or
demonstrate proficiency for six levels of modern language study. Students
may choose six levels of one language or four levels of one language and
two of another. The primary language must be relevant to the declared world
area concentration. Of the six required levels of language, at least three
must be satisfied at UNC-Chapel Hill or as part of a UNC-approved study
abroad program. The Curriculum urges that in addition to fulfilling
requirements, INTS students continue the study of a foreign language to a
level as close as possible to fluency. Click here
for more information concerning the foreign language requirement.
Though study abroad is not required, all INTS
students should also make every effort to include a study abroad program in
their undergraduate education, preferably in their sophomore or junior
year. Click here for more
information on study abroad.
When submitting via email a request to count
specific UNC course(s) toward the major, please follow these guidelines.
Questions about major requirements may be
addressed to Dr. Jonathan Weiler,
Director of Undergraduate Studies.
