Concentrations Degree

International Affairs Majors may choose to focus their studies and graduate with a degree in International Affairs and a Concentration in Middle East Studies, Asian Studies, African Studies, European Studies, or Latin American Studies. Please see below for the degree requirements for each Concentration.
There are some differences in programs for students pursuing concentrations. Instead of 3 regional analysis courses, students must take 4 regional analysis courses in the region of their concentration, and 2 global dynamics courses, one of which must be POLS 1160: International Relations. Furthermore, students must complete their international experience in the region of their concentration, and complete the 4-semester language requirement in a relevant language (for example, Spanish or Portuguese for a Latin American concentration, Arabic or Hebrew for a Middle East concentration, and Chinese or Japanese for an Asian concentration).
If you are a student interested in pursuing a Concentration in International Affairs, please contact your academic and faculty advisors.
