International Studies Certificate Program
Current political, economic, and social trends indicate that the world is changing
from a system of predominantly self-contained nation states towards a globally
integrated community with multiple independent actors, including regional
custom unions, economic communities, transnational enterprises, and individuals.
Those wishing to compete successfully in the global society must understand the
new complexities of the international environment. The certificate program is
designed to introduce students to some of the more salient aspects of international
phenomena, and thus to help in preparing them for a responsible role in the
world.
1. The certificate program is available to full-time, degree-candidate students
who have a cumulative grade point average of 2.33 or higher.
2. To qualify for the certificate, students must demonstrate proficiency in a
modern foreign language.
3. The program requires completion of five specific international courses
including two from the Politics department, two from the History department
(of which one must be a geography course), and one from the Economics
and Business department.
