Major or Minor in International Studies Preface

This handbook is designed for students who declare a major or minor in International Studies. It gives a more detailed description of the program and excises from the University Catalog the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree. Thus, the handbook will guide students to plan their courses for the degree requirements for the major and the minor. Since a number of the courses identified for International Studies also meet general education requirements, students may be able to obtain a double major or minor in another field by carefully planning their courses. A course may count toward only one major or minor area.

All majors are required to complete a study abroad experience (excluding May Term). This requirement does not apply to Diplomatic studies majors, although they are strongly encouraged to study abroad. Diplomatic studies majors who do not study abroad must complete an equivalent off-campus study program

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES PROGRAM

Overview

Globalization, or the integration of the different peoples and cultures of the world through actions and communications, has become a very important concept. Over the last two decades, the world has increasingly become a ‘global village.’ Countries and other actors in the international system have become dependent upon one another regardless of geography and nationalities. Actions in any one part of the world now produce far-reaching effects. Subsequently, international issues have become a major part of nearly every area of study—and an important educational need of any student planning to play an active role in our society.

Cognizant of these realities, the on-campus International Studies program is designed for students who are interested in studying global and regional problems from an interdisciplinary perspective. Related activities help to broaden the students’ international horizons and assist them in the development of expertise in a chosen area of interest. The program pulls together courses from anthropology, art, business, economics, English, foreign language, health, history, political science, physics, sociology and religion. Faculty from various disciplines and academic departments comprise seven different area studies teams:

Area Studies

(focus on a particular region of the “global village”) African Studies Asian Studies Latin American Studies Russian and Eastern European Studies Western European Studies

Functional Area Studies

(focus on broad issues that transcend regions) Development Studies Diplomatic Studies 2 International Studies Handbook

Each area studies team focuses on strengthening particular curriculum and organizing on-campus events, such as speakers and colloquia. Diversity is a major strength of the program. Various approaches are needed to address the myriad of issues that are both peculiar to specific regions and common to the international system as a whole. The program offers majors and minors in various areas.

Students who major in International Studies must elect an area of concentration from any of the following: African, Asian, Latin American, Russian and East European, Western European, Development or, Diplomatic Studies. The major consists of four core courses and six courses in the area of concentration.

The program also offers academic minors in African, Asian, Latin American, Russian and East European, Western European, Development, and Diplomatic Studies. Any area studies minor can be used to enhance or supplement a major.

Students who declare a major in International Studies can not declare a minor in any of the areas. However, another area of concentration may be chosen; a course may count toward only one area of concentration.

Bachelor of Arts Major in International Studies

The Bachelor of Arts major in International Studies is a major within the College of Liberal Arts and as such, students must complete all the Liberal Arts requirements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Standards

A. A minimum of 32 course units earned in a minimum of 32 courses. The minimum course unit requirement must be met without counting the fractional portion in courses valued at 1.25 units (that is, courses valued at 1.25 units contribute 1 unit each toward the minimum number of course units). No more than two units of the 32 minimum may be earned in courses receiving less than one full unit of credit.

B. Completion of a specified program of general education. No course unit may be counted toward more than one general education International Studies Handbook 3

requirement. However, a single course may count for both general education unit credit and flag credit. No more than two general education requirements may come from a single department or school, not counting Gateway Colloquia and elementary language instruction courses (101, 102).

C. A minimum of ten course units in the major. (See details starting on p.5.) A course unit may count for both a general education requirement and a departmental major or minor requirement, but may not be counted toward both a major and a minor requirement or toward requirements for two different majors.

D. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 ("C"). In the major and minor sequences, a minimum grade point average of 2.0.

E. No more than one course unit of "D" work can be counted toward the major or minor. No more than four units of "D" work may be counted toward the degree. No more than two units of "D" work may be counted toward general education requirements.

F. A total of at least 11 course units in upper-division courses (numbered 300 or higher), at least four of which must be in the major department or field.

G. Not more than 14 course units in any single department or school may be counted toward the degree.

H. All degree candidates must complete a minimum of two years and 16 course units in residence. At least 9 of the last 11 course units must be taken at IWU. For further information on residency requirements and course transfer, see the section, "The Academic Program—Credit for Work External to Illinois Wesleyan" in the current IWU catalog.

General Education Requirements (Refer to the General Education Handbook for more details.)

Students are given the opportunity to achieve the goals of General Education through a sequence of course Category offerings, Course Flags, and other requirements which are outlined on the following pages. 4 International Studies Handbook

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES CURRICULUM

The International Studies Major is interdisciplinary in orientation; it is designed to bring the knowledge of several disciplines to address the myriad cultural, economic, historical, political, and social problems which transcend national boundaries. Thus, the major is designed to serve the educational and career needs of students who are interested in studying issues from a transnational perspective, and who are planning careers with international related agencies of the public and private sectors, international organizations, and foundations. The International Studies Minors are designed for students who are interested in studying global and regional problems from an interdisciplinary perspective. It is recommended for students who would like to enhance or supplement their major with an international background. Students can pursue either an area studies minor-African, Asian, Latin American, Russian and East European, or West European Studies-or a functional area minor-Development or Diplomatic Studies. Students who declare a major in International Studies can not declare a minor in any of the areas. However, the students can choose another area of concentration; a course may count toward only one area of concentration. At least two courses taken in each minor must be at the 300 level or equivalent.

Note: Some of the courses listed in this handbook require a prerequisite. Please check the catalog for this information.

The courses taken abroad or in Washington must be approved by the Coordinator of the area and the Director of the International Studies Program, prior to the study.

6) Six additional courses in the area of concentration. Note that each area of concentration has a specific language requirement.

1. GEOGRAPHICAL AREA CONCENTRATION:

Each student declaring a concentration in a geographic area – Studies, Asian Studies, Latin American Studies, Russian and East European or Western European Studies -- must take one course beyond the general education language requirements in the language of the area, and five courses from various disciplines in the cultural, economic, historical, political, and social life of the area. This requirement does not apply to African Studies students who must complete one semester of an African language.
