A graduate minor in international studies provides students in graduate programs other than international studies with the opportunity to acquire a basic graduate-level familiarity with international relations, global processes and cultural diversity around the world.
Students acquire a foundation in inter-governmental relations and research methodology. Beyond this, students work closely with an international studies advisor to fashion a program of study appropriate for their interests and post-graduate plans. The minor complements several other graduate degree programs.
All prerequisites for entering the graduate program in international studies as a major apply to the minor with the exception of proficiency in a second language. Declaration of an international studies graduate minor is contingent on these additional pre-requisites:
Graduate students minoring in international studies must satisfy the requirements of their graduate major and take 12 credits of guided graduate coursework in international studies. With the approval of the department of the graduate major, these 12 hours may also count toward the major. Students are required to take at least 1 advanced theory course and 1 advanced research methods course. All courses will be determined in consultation with the Graduate Studies Director.
The committee makeup for the thesis or dissertation committee of the student's primary major will include at least one faculty member from international studies or the director of international studies. This committee member may serve as the outside member of the committee.
