Requirements
In order to earn the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in International Studies, students must complete a minimum of 180 credits with a cumulative and major/department grade point average of 2.00, including the following:
I. Core Curriculum Requirements
Module I: Engaging Academic Inquiry
Module II: Engaging Jesuit Traditions
Module III: Engaging the World
II. College of Arts and Sciences Requirements
- Modern Language 1150, 1250, 1350 or equivalent (15)
NOTE:
All students with a major in the College of Arts and Sciences must demonstrate competency through the level of 1350 in a language other than English. This competency is ordinarily achieved by successful completion of the three-course sequence: 1150, 1250, and 1350. Because these courses are a college requirement, no courses in the sequence may be taken on a pass/fail, correspondence, or audit basis. Placement into other than the beginning course of the sequence is achieved by acceptable performance on the Modern Language Competency Examination. See the Modern Languages and Cultures Department for details on the examinations. International students educated to age 16 in a language other than English may request a waiver of this first-year language requirement.
III. Major Requirements
A minimum of 70 credits in international studies, including:
Area I: Foundational: 30 credits:
Area II: Professional Formation: 25 credits:
