Fifteen units, including International Studies 106, in a program of study that has been approved by the Panel of Advisers of the International Studies Program. These units must comprise a coherent and integrated program of study, and the rationale for the program must be given in a formal proposal. Credit to the program will not normally be given for courses at the 100-level except for International Studies 106, International Studies 181, Political Science 160, and Geography 105, or if the course is accepted as filling one of the program recommendations given below.

Competency in one foreign language through the third-year college level as demonstrated by completion of the relevant courses or special examination. The language studied should be directly relevant to the geographical area of emphasis.

Four units of work at the 300-level: International Studies 305, a senior seminar of one unit; a senior thesis of one unit (normally International Studies 301-302); and at least one unit from each of two departments. The senior seminar and the thesis constitute the Senior-Year Requirement.

One unit of intermediate work directly relevant to international issues in each of three departments. One of these departments must be Economics and the other two courses may be drawn from Political Science, History, and Geography.

At least one unit of work dealing with issues of nationality, race, ethnicity, class, and/or gender in American society.
