Program Requirements The major in International Studies requires approximately two years (6 quarters) to complete, depending on language capability and the number of program courses taken prior to admittance. The coursework consists of approximately 70 credit hours within a general four-year B.A. course of study (180 credits).
The requirements for the major are as follows:
I. Foreign language competency in a modern foreign language through the end of the second year (college level). Students who have no language background need 30 credits in a modern foreign language; students with some background need fewer credits. In all cases, continued language study beyond this requirement is strongly advised. The 30 language hours do not count in the core 70 credit hours for the program, but they do apply to the College of Arts and Sciences Visual, Literary and Performing Arts, and Areas of Knowledge requirements.
II. ECON 200 Introduction to Microeconomics (5), and either ECON 201 Introduction to Macroeconomics (5) or JSIS 123 Introduction to Globalization (5).
III. The introductory series in international studies JSIS 200, 201 and 202 investigates the origins and nature of contemporary global economic, political, and cultural interdependence.
JSIS 200 States and Capitalism: The Origins of the Modern Global System (5) JSIS 201 The Making of the Twenty-first Century (5) JSIS 202 Cultural Interactions in an Interdependent World (5)
IV. JSIS B 330 or 331 An advanced Jackson School course on International Political Economy (5), (See page 7 for list of alternative classes.)
V. JSIS 498 Readings in International Studies (5), SIS majors seniors only. Students work closely with a faculty member in reading and writing about major texts. VI. The required number of courses in an approved track, in which students specialize in a region or country of the world, or in a particular topic of international studies. Approved tracks and their constituent courses are listed on pages 8-26. VII. Core Courses: Three advanced topic core courses from the list of trans-disciplinary core courses in international studies. (See pg. 6.) NOTE: Some courses fulfill both 'track' and 'core' requirements but cannot be double-counted except where specified in the handbook. VIII. Senior requirement: Students conclude their studies in the major in JSIS 495 Task Force, (5), offered winter quarter only, which provides a small-group setting for in-depth investigation of important international problems. Open to Global Studies majors only. Prerequisites: JSIS 200, SIS 201, SIS 202 JSIS 330 (formerly SIS 401) or JSIS B 331 (see page 7 for list of alternative classes).
Revised 10/2/2012 3 IX. Qualifying Paper (QP) Requirement (SUSPENDED FOR NEW & CONTINUING STUDENTS taking Task Force Winter 2013 or later – effective 1/1/12).
****************
Study Abroad and Internships Overseas study and internships are optional parts of the program, and are discussed on page 4. JSIS 497 Internship, may replace one of the required track courses in the major if the paper topic is approved as meeting program requirements.
****************
Sequence of Courses The introductory courses, JSIS 200, 201, and 202, may be taken in any order. JSIS 201 and ECON 200 and 201 must be taken before JSIS B 330 (formerly SIS 401) or JSIS B 331. The core courses and track courses may be taken at any time in the student's program, but students should plan their programs well ahead so they are able to take the necessary courses in the quarters in which they are offered. (This is particularly critical since not all courses are offered every year.) Some Track courses are offered through other departments, so it is especially important to check with those departments about scheduling for required courses and/or courses of particular interest. JSIS 498, Readings in International Studies, is usually offered fall and spring quarters and is open to all Global Studies majors. JSIS 495 Task Force is to be taken winter quarter of the senior year. Students must have completed JSIS 200, 201, 202 and JSIS B 330 (formerly SIS 401) or JSIS B 331 before taking Task Force. All courses required for the major, including ECON 200, 201, and the two-year language sequence, must be taken for graded credit. A minimum 2.0 grade is required in all Jackson School-prefix courses.
Good Standing Majors in International Studies will be expected to maintain a GPA of at least 2.5, both overall and in the program. A student whose GPA falls below this minimum will be placed on academic probation. A student on academic probation must attain a minimum GPA of 2.75 each subsequent quarter, until the cumulative GPA is raised to 2.5. A student who fails to attain the minimum probation GPA will be dropped from the program. Appeals will be considered in exceptional circumstances.
Revised 10/2/2012 4 OVERSEAS STUDY Study abroad can be an important part of the curriculum through which students gain first-hand experience of another culture and further develop their language skills. Information on many study- abroad programs is available in the Office of International Programs and Exchanges, 453 Schmitz Hall (543-9272). You may also visit the UW Foreign Study website at http://depts.washington.edu/ipe/. After receiving preliminary information on these programs, interested students should discuss study abroad with the undergraduate adviser in Thomson 111. All programs should be pre-approved before a student goes abroad in order for credit to apply to the International Studies major. This requires that syllabi and other relevant materials be reviewed by the undergraduate adviser. In cases in which such materials are not available before going abroad, students must collect these materials during their stay and submit them to the adviser upon return. In all cases approval of credit for the major is contingent upon review of completed academic work abroad upon the student's return. Course credit will not be given in place of JSIS 200, 201, 202, 495 Task Force, or 498 Readings in International Studies. Normally, credit is given toward completion of track and language requirements.
INTERNSHIPS Internships are an optional part of the International Studies major and provide a means of learning about the application of international affairs knowledge outside of the classroom. Listings of internships are available locally, nationally, and internationally with government agencies, businesses, and non-profit groups. Credit for internships can be obtained only by registering for the credit/no credit internship course, JSIS 497, and writing a research paper under the supervision of a faculty member. All requests for internship credit must be approved in advance by filling out a JSIS 497 internship application form, available in Thomson 111. We strongly encourage students to consider internships for the practical knowledge and skills they impart. The internship in and of itself can be extremely valuable whether or not credit is obtained. For details on internships and careers, see the JSIS website and arrange to meet with Kelly Voss in 124 Thomson (543-0176). Also, check the bulletin board in THOM 111 for announcements.
JACKSON SCHOOL STUDENT ASSOCIATION The Jackson School Student Association is a student organization for all students in the Jackson School. Students are automatically a member in the organization by virtue of declaring a Jackson School major. The organization arranges both academic and social gatherings on a regular basis, including brown-bag lunch lectures and more recently a symposium. The JSSA website is: http://students.washington.edu/jssa. This is a great way to get to get to know your JSIS faculty and peers. We strongly encourage participation in this organization.
Revised 10/2/2012 5 HONORS PROGRAM The Honors Program is intended for students with the capability and commitment required to pursue an in-depth research project. The heart of the program is the Honors thesis, to be completed during the senior year. IS majors should be aware that it can be difficult to incorporate the Honors Program into your course of study and still graduate in four years, especially if you intend to study abroad. If you are seriously considering the Honors Program, it is best to consult your adviser and begin planning as early as possible.
Honors Admission Requirements An overall UW GPA of 3.30 and a major GPA of 3.50 is recommended.
Honors Admission Procedure Students should apply in the autumn of their junior year. Submit the application form, a writing sample, essay, and transcripts from all colleges you have attended, to the Student Services Office in Thomson 111, all in one packet. DEADLINE: the third Friday of autumn quarter of junior year (The honors program strongly recommends that JSIS honors students complete JSIS 495 - Task Force in winter quarter of junior year to facilitate writing an honors thesis during winter and spring of the senior year.)
Honors Graduation Requirements 1. Junior Honors Seminar (JSIS 385) taken Spring quarter to choose a faculty adviser and develop a prospectus. Students who complete JSIS 385 and graduate with honors are exempted from taking JSIS 498, Readings in International Studies. 2. Two-quarter Senior thesis writing seminar (JSIS 491-492) Autumn and Winter quarter. (Winter quarter seminar is optional). 3. The thesis is a research project completed under the supervision of one or more professors. It should be a 50-60 page paper, based upon primary sources. Theses are due in the middle of Spring quarter and are read by a committee of faculty members. If yours is recommended for honors, an oral defense will be scheduled for the end of May or early June. 4. Graduation "with distinction" (Departmental Honors) or “with College Honors” will be contingent upon the acceptance of the thesis, a successful thesis defense, and a UW GPA of 3.30 and a GPA of 3.50 in all courses required for the major.
