JCU Undergraduate Bulletin 2005-2007: Interdisciplinary Concentrations -- International Studies

The International Studies Concentration is administered through the Center for Global Education and is open to all majors. The concentration encourages students to develop an awareness of international diversity and global interdependence through the comparative study of cultures and analysis of international issues. Students in the International Studies Concentration work with the director of the Center for Global Education to create a coherent course of study on a particular topic, issue, or world region. A minimum of 27 credit hours are required to complete the concentration, including:

The two international courses required by the University Core.
Demonstrated proficiency in a foreign language through the intermediate level. This can be met by taking the intermediate-level courses or by placing out of them.
Other specified course work in three different departments, including the student's major department.

Students are strongly encouraged to apply credits earned through study abroad to the concentration.

For more detailed information on the International Studies Concentration, including particular course requirements, students should consult their advisors and the Director of the Center for Global Education as early as possible.

Coordinator: Dr. Andreas Sobisch, Department of Political Science, and Director, Center for Global Education.
