Requirements for the liberal arts majors in Chinese studies, Japanese studies, and Latin American studies
The international studies majors consist of a minimum of 44 credits, of which 24 credits must be taken in the primary area (Chinese studies, Japanese studies, Latin American studies); 12 credits in a complementary area of study; and 8 credits at the 3000-4000 level in an appropriate language. Language courses at the 1000 and 2000 level do not count toward the total number of credits for the major in either the primary or secondary area. The complementary area of study ordinarily consists of the appropriate introductory international studies course and two additional courses in the area, which may be either international studies courses or departmental courses. IS 4995 , the capstone course, must have a subject matter relevant to the proper area to count for credit toward the major.
Duplication of course credit in the primary and complementary areas is not permitted. However, majors may apply their courses in international studies to their General Education Requirements .
