International Affairs Minor

The minor has one required course, Globalization and International Affairs, which fulfills the Understanding Societies and Institutions requirement in NUPath. From there, students complete the minor with two regional analysis courses and two global dynamics courses.

It is recommended that students select two regional analysis electives from the same region, but it is not required.  For example, students interested in Asia could take both Global Chinese Migration and Modern Chinese History and Culture to satisfy their regional analysis elective course requirement.

To provide a comparative perspective of global issues, students are required to complement their regional specializations by taking two global dynamics courses. Students can choose from a wide range of global options in various disciplines, such as anthropology, economics, and politics. Examples of these courses include Global Population and Development, Global Human Rights, International Conflict and Negotiation, andWomen and World Politics.

Depending on the courses selected, students may also fulfill the Interpreting Culture, Engaging Difference and Diversity, Employing Ethical Reasoning, Writing Intensive, Interpreting Culture, and Integrating Knowledge and Skills Through Experience requirements in NUPath through their Regional Analysis and Global Dynamics courses.
