Combined Majors
Students who wish to take more than one major may pursue a combined major between International Affairs and one of the other programs below. A combined major differs from a double major in that the departments have eliminated some overlap between the majors, reducing the overall credit load but maintaining the academic rigor and learning objectives of both majors.
